Ubuntu Linux on Virtual Box
Linux is one of the most popular Operating Systems used in today's world. Linux refers to the family of Unix-like computer operating systems using the Linux kernel. Linux can be installed on a wide variety of computer hardware, ranging from mobile phones, tablet computers and video game consoles to mainframes and supercomputers.
It is an open source software and the Linux kernel is released under the GNU General Public License and hence can be freely created, modified and distributed.
Linux is actually just a kernel. Many people have put together distributions (often called flavours), that contain not just the kernel but also many other programming tools and utilities. Some well-known distributions include Red Hat Linux, Ubuntu, SuSE Linux, and Debian GNU/Linux.
In this series, we will be demonstrating how to install Ubuntu Linux OS on Virtual Box.
The Spoken Tutorial Effort for Ubuntu Linux on Virtual Box has been contributed by Praveen S, Nancy Varkey, System Admins of Spoken Tutorial and NVLI Project.
