Why No New Posts!

Well I have decided to publish Linux and Open Source related content on my other blog http://factsiknow.blogspot.com, as I felt running two blogs doesn't make sense for someone like me who doesn't post often.

Sun xVM VirtualBox on Windows 7 Beta

Here's what you can do with VirtualBox if you have got enough RAM.

Above screenshot depicts three installations of RHEL 5.0 running as guest operating system on Windows 7 host.

Operating System: RHEL 5.0

On my Compaq Laptop PC I had to edit xorg.conf to get the display working at 1280x800.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"

SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1280x800"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Operating System: Ubuntu 8.10

Under Ubuntu 8.10 you should use Host key (Right ctrl key)+ F
for Fullscreen mode then CTRL+G for native guest resolution.

In both cases you have to first install Guest Additions For Linux .
