VirtualBox is an open source software developed and maintained by Sun Microsystems. The main aim behind this kind of softwares is to provide a virtual environment for running guest operating systems. Which means you can run a different operating system inside your current operating system.

It is meant for those people who just love to experiment new things on their PC but are afraid of making any accidental damages to their system. You can also use the .vmdk image files which are created using the VMWare software.

If you are a first time user of virtual machines then you might find it a little difficult to use this software. You can read the step by step guide on creating virtual images and using them in VirtualBox over here at UbuntuGeek.

The important part to note here is the settings of this software. You can limit the amount of RAM to be used by this software. Set it to the 3/4th of what you have in your PC. So that you can run other softwares simultaneously without much trouble. By default when you click on the VirtualBox windows the mouse control is transferred to the guest OS. To use the mouse for the actual OS use the right ctrl key. You will learn more as you start using this software.

VirtualBox is an Open source software and is available for Windows, Linux and Mac systems. You can download the latest version of VirtualBox from the link given below.

Ever felt like carrying your Ubuntu, Fedora, Tiny-core and all other OS’s iso in your pen drive? Yes, you can now carry all your favorite Operating systems with you wherever you go and boot from them using the same USB drive.MultiBoot USB is a freeware which can help you to use the multiple OS iso files on the same pen drive.

To use the MultiBoot on your pen drive it must meet some requirements first. You’ll require a FAT32 formatted pen drive and a computer which can boot from a USB device. Prefer using an 8-16 GB pen drive so that you can have more different operating systems on it.

To start off first download the MultiBootISO’s from here . Run the executable and follow the instructions. Browse to the ISO file you want to load on your USB drive and build the bootable USB using it. You might have to format your pen drive during the process so do take a backup of all your data which is there on the pen drive.

To add more ISO files repeat the same procedure. Restart your PC and set the highest priority for the USB drive to boot from it and done. Do give it a shot!!!
