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.我一直想運行UNIX操作系統在我的電腦，但我總是嚇倒的思想，我將需要做的通常建立一個UNIX文件系統分區和建立一個雙亭系統。有了工具，如分區魔術師和展位魔術你能做到這一點很容易，但權衡的是，能夠操作系統之間切換，您將需要重新啟動計算機。

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.另外您將需要重新格式化的一部分您的硬盤到另一個文件系統，不符合您現有的Windows操作系統（如Linux的X檔案系統）。這是難以管理的硬件方面，也將無法同時使用操作系統在同一時間在同一台機器上。

openvXM let’s you get away from the multi-boot hell. openvXM讓你擺脫多重開機地獄。 To get the software go to為了讓軟件去 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.那裡你會看到，這個項目是社會支持的支持下孫。 Sun最近一直積極的“開源”項目，如OpenSolaris的。 Also, check out my previous post about VirtualBox, another此外，檢查了我以前對VirtualBox後，另一 free tool to create a virtual machine免費工具來創建一個虛擬機 . 。

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專家認為，他們這樣做“自由軟件”戰略，以獲得更大的市場份額就像他們做了什麼的編程平台的Java 。希望有經常更新這個軟件，因為許多開發商從Sun和開源社區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:一旦你下載並安裝該軟件，您可以按下CTRL - N以啟動虛擬機的建立：

NOTE: You will only need to do this once for each of the OS you want to run. 注意：您只需要做到這一點再次為每個操作系統你想運行。

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:新的虛擬機嚮導將打開。閱讀說明的窗口，將獲得掛起了它的每一個步驟：

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:類型的名字的虛擬機。這是武斷的，但請務必將它命名的東西你會很容易記住。還可以選擇類型的操作系統，你計劃運行在此虛擬機。在這個例子中我進入UNIX的名稱和Solaris的操作系統類型：

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):下一步進入基地內存的機器（這將是從RAM的計算機，因此您可能需要增加更多的物理如果您要使用大量的內存為您的虛擬機）：

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:虛擬硬盤屏幕將要求現有的虛擬硬盤將被使用。由於這是一個新的設置，我點擊新建創建一個新的虛擬硬盤：

There are two types of virtual disk, one is dynamic and one is fixed. I chose dynamic for this example:有兩種類型的虛擬磁盤，一個是動態的，一個是固定的。我選擇了充滿活力的這個例子：

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:請務必將撥出足夠的硬盤空間為您的機器。如果您計劃安裝大型應用程序的虛擬機，建立最低限度的16GB容量，並增加更多的取決於您的軟件的要求：

After that the virtual hard disk is created and you can now use it as a boot hard disk:在此之後的虛擬硬盤創建，現在您可以用它作為啟動硬盤：

A summary screen will appear, make sure to review the details and hit back if you need to correct anything:摘要畫面將會出現，一定要審查的細節和回擊如果您需要正確的東西：

After the creation of the virtual machine you will see your new machine on the left side of the main interface:在創建虛擬機你會看到您的新機器的左側主界面：

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:要開始使用虛擬操作系統，您將需要安裝的CD在安裝操作系統的位置。在我的案子我有我的駕駛F包含在Solaris OS安裝適合我的386 AMD處理器。按一下山的CD ，然後單擊起點：

You should see the installation screen on the virtual terminal:您應該會看到屏幕上安裝的虛擬終端：

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.所有標準輸入輸出的OS您使用發送到虛擬終端，你可以發送鍵盤命令給它像一個普通的機器。

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).隨著VirtualBox可以運行任何操作系統上的任何操作系統。您可以效仿的Windows Vista對Linux電腦，反之亦然。良好的一點是，你將甚至沒有重新啟動您的計算機能夠使用一個以上的操作系統在一個時間。這是非常理想的用戶誰往往需要管理多個操作系統在同一台機器上同時進行。您可以節省電力成本，也有大量的資源（即另一個物理計算機）。

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，因為這是一個虛擬的計算機，接口可以讓你關閉虛擬計算機像一個真正的電腦。要做到這一點請按一下機，然後ACPI的關機：

Since this is a virtual computer you can have an option to pause it unlike on a real computer where everything happens real-time.由於這是一個虛擬的計算機，您可以選擇是否暫停不像一個真正的電腦上發生的一切實時。

If you need to use a floppy drive or CD/DVD drives on the virtual machine, use the Devices menu to mount them:如果你需要使用軟盤驅動器或CD / DVD驅動器的虛擬機，使用菜單上的設備安裝它們：

You can get detailed information about the virtual machine by clicking the Machine menu and then Session Information:你可以得到詳細的資料虛擬機按一下機菜單，然後會議信息：

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來驗證您的虛擬機的參數。我很高興這個免費的“虛擬化”軟件，我相信這將是我的電腦很長一段時間。
