Nested VirtualBox
Posted: 5. Sep 2011, 06:29
Hello.
I need to test a Debian Lenny/VirtualBox 3.2.10 setup on a Windows 7 machine. Installing Debian locally on an actual machine is not an option, so I need to virtualize/emulate the first Guest OS. I read that vbox inside vbox does not work, can anyone offer me an alternative solution? Performance is not an issue - so I can live with extreme drawbacks there.
A graphical representation of what I want basically:
Host OS (Windows 7, my actual computer)
-> Guest OS (Debian Lenny), runs VirtualBox 3.2.10:
->-> Guest OS (Ubuntu)
Thanks for any insights you can provide
