VirtualBox

VirtualBox is a family of powerful x86 virtualization products for enterprise as well as home use. Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers, it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). See "About VirtualBox" for an introduction; see "innotek" for more about our company.

Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh and OpenSolaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4 and 2.6), and OpenBSD.

安装 OpenSolaris Indiana iso 文件 http://download.huihoo.com/opensolaris/

注意:

• 安装需要 >4G 的空间, 建议8G.
• 安装到86%的时候就不动了, 不知道到是不是因为512M的内存分配小了. 决定重新分配再次安装。
