    Hi! This is for people who want to try linux (or any OS) without dualbooting or damaging their current operating system!

    Many of you may know abt "Virtual machine". If u r familiar with this, u don't wanna read it.

    What is Virtual Machine?
    Virtual machine is discribed as a computer within your computer. It shares current resources of your computer like RAM, Hard disk and processing to create a new machine virtually so you can install any os in it without worrying about your current os.

    Installing VirtualBox!

    go to http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and download the package for your current OS. Yes it is cross platform, thats why it is called Open Source :)

    There is a detailed guide for installing Virtualbox and installing an OS in it. Here is the link http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.1.4/UserManual.pdf

    I recommend to try linux through this for newbies. Feel the power of Open Source.

    If you have any doubt, PLS PM me.

    Thank You!

    මචන් ඕන අනිත් පැත්තට කිව්වනම් වඩා හොඳයි නේද? ලිනක්ස් භාවිතා කරන්නෙක්ට හානියකින් තොරව වින්ඩෝස් භාවිත කරන්න පුලුවන් කිවානම් වඩා හොඳයි

    gud work keep it up

    I'm a KDE fan since the beginning, but they got F#@!$ up with 4.x.x :( :( but its still the BEST.

    KDE is running better with Gentoo, suse and fedora rather than Kubuntu
