VirtualBox 1.4.0 發佈

VirtualBox 是免費的虛擬機器，就像是VMWare，MS Virtual PC一樣
不同的是VirtualBox 透過gpl 授權不管是個人還是商用都可以免費使用

1.4.0 版跟已往的差別在於支援正體/簡體中文，也支援vmware 的vmdk 格式
在linux 底下vbox 的效率遠遠好過於vmware，強烈推薦使用！

Jun 5, 2007. innotek today released VirtualBox 1.4.0 for Windows and Linux.
This new version brings hundreds of improvements, more than any update since
the first official release in January 2007. Among the new features are full
support for 64-bit Linux hosts, RDP session shadowing, clipboard
synchronization, serial ports and easier Linux host interface networking. In
the storage department, VirtualBox now supports VMware disk images (VMDK)
natively and can give virtual machines access to physical disks and
partitions ("raw disk support"). The graphical user interface has received
more polish and has now been translated into 12 languages (German, Spanish,
French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Arabic, Russian, Japanese,
Traditional Chinese and Chinese). Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL5) and
Xandros Desktop 4.1 are now officially supported; support for FreeBSD and
OpenBSD guests has been improved. For details, see the Changelog. As with its
predecessors, VirtualBox 1.4.0 is available both as Open Source under the GPL
as well as under a commercial license which, in most cases, allows you to use
the product free of charge.

[code]sudo apt-key add innotek.asc[/code]


4.安裝

另外如果開啟的時候出現以下訊息
[quote]VirtualBox kernel driver not accessible, permission problem[/quote]

請在終端下鍵入(user 為你的系統帳戶)
[code]sudo usermod -G vboxusers -a user[/code]

重啟之後就可用vbox 了，實際使用速度跟資源的占用真的都比vmware 好太多了
而且他們才剛開始發展而已就有這種程度，實在難得希望大家多多支持開原的自由軟體！
