Slide: Introduction	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Installing Ubuntu Linux OS in a VirtualBox.
Slide: Learning Objective	In this tutorial we will learn: How to install Ubuntu Linux 16.04 in a VirtualBox on a Windows base machine.
Slide: System Requirements	This tutorial is recorded using Windows OS version 10 VirtualBox version 5.2.18 Ubuntu Linux 16.04 OS Before we begin, please make sure that you are connected to the Internet.
Slide: System requirements for VirtualBox	To install an OS inside a VirtualBox, the base machine should the following configuration. i3 processor or higher RAM 4GB or higher Hard disk free space 50GB or more and Virtualization should be enabled on BIOS This will ensure that the VirtualBox will work smoothly.

Start -> About your PC Highlight System type	To do so, first go to the search bar next to the Start menu Type About your PC Select About your PC. Under System type, we can see whether we are running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows. Here in my case it is 64-bit Windows.
Slide: Download Ubuntu 16.04	Based on your System type, download the suitable Ubuntu Linux 16.04 ISO from this link: http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ For 32-bit it will be ubuntu-16.04.5-desktop-i386.iso For 64-bit it will be ubuntu-16.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso
Only Narration	As mentioned earlier, my Windows System type is 64-bit. Hence I have downloaded the ubuntu-16.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso file for this demonstration.
Show Desktop Open VirtualBox	First we will learn how to create a virtual machine inside the VirtualBox. On the Desktop, double-click on the VirtualBox icon to launch it.
Click on New	At the top of the VirtualBox window, locate the blue color icon New and click on it.
Name: Ubuntu	In the Create Virtual Machine window which opens, we can see the page Name and Operating system. Under the Name text box, type the name you wish to give. I will type Ubuntu.
Type -> Linux	Then under the dropdown Type, select Linux.

Click on Next	And click on the Next button at the bottom of the window.
	The next page is Memory size. Here we allocate the size of the RAM for the virtual machine.
Point to the slider and text box	Use the slider or the text box to allocate the size for the RAM.
In textbox type, 4048	Since the unit says MB, I will type 4048 in the textbox. This will allocate 4GB of RAM to this virtual machine. If the system memory of the base machine is only 4GB, then allocate 2GB for the virtual machine.
Click on Next	Now click on the Next button at the bottom of the window.
	On the Hard disk page, we have to decide which type of virtual hard disk we are going to use.
Point to Create a virtual hard disk now	I’m creating a new virtual machine, so I will select Create a virtual hard disk now. This option could be already selected by default for you.
Click on Next	Click on the Create button at the bottom.
Select VDI >> click on Next	In the Hard disk file type, select VDI (Virtual Disk Image) And click on the Next button at the bottom of the window
