I have always wanted to run a UNIX OS on my PC but I was always daunted by the thought that I will need to do the usual creation of a UNIX file-system partition and creating a dual booth system. With tools like Partition Magic and Booth Magic you can do that easily but the trade off is that to be able to switch between OS, you will need to reboot your computer.我一直想运行UNIX操作系统在我的电脑，但我总是吓倒的思想，我将需要做的通常建立一个UNIX文件系统分区和建立一个双亭系统。有了工具，如分区魔术师和展位魔术你能做到这一点很容易，但权衡的是，能够操作系统之间切换，您将需要重新启动计算机。

Also you will need to reformat a portion of your hard disk to another file system that is not compatible with your existing Windows OS (like the Linux X file system). This is hard to manage on the hardware side and also you will not be able to use both OS at the same time on the same machine.另外您将需要重新格式化的一部分您的硬盘到另一个文件系统，不符合您现有的Windows操作系统（如Linux的X档案系统）。这是难以管理的硬件方面，也将无法同时使用操作系统在同一时间在同一台机器上。

openvXM let’s you get away from the multi-boot hell. openvXM让你摆脱多重开机地狱。 To get the software go to为了让软件去 http://www.openxvm.org/ there you will see that this project is community supported with backing from Sun. Sun recently has been active on “open-source” projects like OpenSolaris.那里你会看到，这个项目是社会支持的支持下孙。 Sun最近一直积极的“开源”项目，如OpenSolaris的。 Also, check out my previous post about VirtualBox, another此外，检查了我以前对VirtualBox后，另一 free tool to create a virtual machine免费工具来创建一个虚拟机 . 。

Some of the IT experts think they do this “free software” strategy to get a bigger market share like what they did with the programming platform Java. Expect to have frequent updates to this software since many developers from Sun and the open source community are working to add more features and functionality.一些IT专家认为，他们这样做“自由软件”战略，以获得更大的市场份额就像他们做了什么的编程平台的Java 。希望有经常更新这个软件，因为许多开发商从Sun和开源社区工作添加更多的特性和功能。

Once you downloaded and installed the software, you can press CTRL-N to start the virtual machine creation:一旦你下载并安装该软件，您可以按下CTRL - N以启动虚拟机的建立：

NOTE: You will only need to do this once for each of the OS you want to run. 注意：您只需要做到这一点再次为每个操作系统你想运行。

The new virtual machine wizard will open. Read the descriptions on the windows that will follow to get the hang of it on each step:新的虚拟机向导将打开。阅读说明的窗口，将获得挂起了它的每一个步骤：

Type in the name of the virtual machine. This is arbitrary but make sure to name it to something you will easily remember. Also choose the type of OS that you plan to run on this virtual machine. In this example I entered UNIX as the name and Solaris as the OS Type:类型的名字的虚拟机。这是武断的，但请务必将它命名的东西你会很容易记住。还可以选择类型的操作系统，你计划运行在此虚拟机。在这个例子中我进入UNIX的名称和Solaris的操作系统类型：

Next enter the base memory of the machine (this will be taken from the RAM of your computer so you might need to add more physical if you want to use a significant amount of RAM for your virtual machine):下一步进入基地内存的机器（这将是从RAM的计算机，因此您可能需要增加更多的物理如果您要使用大量的内存为您的虚拟机）：

The virtual hard disk screen will ask which existing virtual hard disk will be used. Since this is a new setup, I clicked New to create a new virtual hard disk:虚拟硬盘屏幕将要求现有的虚拟硬盘将被使用。由于这是一个新的设置，我点击新建创建一个新的虚拟硬盘：

There are two types of virtual disk, one is dynamic and one is fixed. I chose dynamic for this example:有两种类型的虚拟磁盘，一个是动态的，一个是固定的。我选择了充满活力的这个例子：

Make sure to allocate enough hard disk space for your machine. If you plan to install large applications on your virtual machine, put in a minimum of 16GB and add more depending on your software’s requirement:请务必将拨出足够的硬盘空间为您的机器。如果您计划安装大型应用程序的虚拟机，建立最低限度的16GB容量，并增加更多的取决于您的软件的要求：

After that the virtual hard disk is created and you can now use it as a boot hard disk:在此之后的虚拟硬盘创建，现在您可以用它作为启动硬盘：

A summary screen will appear, make sure to review the details and hit back if you need to correct anything:摘要画面将会出现，一定要审查的细节和回击如果您需要正确的东西：

After the creation of the virtual machine you will see your new machine on the left side of the main interface:在创建虚拟机你会看到您的新机器的左侧主界面：

To start using the virtual OS, you will need to mount a CD where the installer of the OS is located. In my case I have my drive F contain the Solaris OS installer suitable for my 386 AMD processor. Click Mount the CD and then click Start:要开始使用虚拟操作系统，您将需要安装的CD在安装操作系统的位置。在我的案子我有我的驾驶F包含在Solaris OS安装适合我的386 AMD处理器。按一下山的CD ，然后单击起点：

You should see the installation screen on the virtual terminal:您应该会看到屏幕上安装的虚拟终端：

All standard input output of the OS you use are sent to the virtual terminal and you can send keyboard commands to it like an ordinary machine.所有标准输入输出的OS您使用发送到虚拟终端，你可以发送键盘命令给它像一个普通的机器。

With VirtualBox you can run any OS on top of any OS. You can emulate Windows Vista on a Linux computer or vice versa. The good thing is that you won’t even have to reboot your computer to be able to use more than one OS at a time. This is very ideal for users who often need to manage more than one OS on the same machine at the same time. You can save electricity costs and also a great amount of resource (ie another physical computer).随着VirtualBox可以运行任何操作系统上的任何操作系统。您可以效仿的Windows Vista对Linux电脑，反之亦然。良好的一点是，你将甚至没有重新启动您的计算机能够使用一个以上的操作系统在一个时间。这是非常理想的用户谁往往需要管理多个操作系统在同一台机器上同时进行。您可以节省电力成本，也有大量的资源（即另一个物理计算机）。

Also, since this is a virtual computer, the interface allows you to shutdown the virtual computer like a real computer. To do this click Machine and then ACPI Shutdown:此外，因为这是一个虚拟的计算机，接口可以让你关闭虚拟计算机像一个真正的电脑。要做到这一点请按一下机，然后ACPI的关机：

Since this is a virtual computer you can have an option to pause it unlike on a real computer where everything happens real-time.由于这是一个虚拟的计算机，您可以选择是否暂停不像一个真正的电脑上发生的一切实时。

If you need to use a floppy drive or CD/DVD drives on the virtual machine, use the Devices menu to mount them:如果你需要使用软盘驱动器或CD / DVD驱动器的虚拟机，使用菜单上的设备安装它们：

You can get detailed information about the virtual machine by clicking the Machine menu and then Session Information:你可以得到详细的资料虚拟机按一下机菜单，然后会议信息：

You can use the above screen to validate your virtual machine’s parameters. I was very happy with this free “virtualization” software and I am sure it will be on my PC for a long time.您可以使用上述屏幕来验证您的虚拟机的参数。我很高兴这个免费的“虚拟化”软件，我相信这将是我的电脑很长一段时间。
