Post by gerwin »

Hello!

I have a 64 bit Mac Pro (OS X 10.6) and I want to intall virtual box and later on it some 32 bit linux guest OS's.

Is that possible?

What is the best way to do that?

Do I need a spezial version of virtual box?

Thanks for any help!

Hello Stefan!

Thanks for that info!

So, I install VirtualBox on that Mac and after that I could install every 32 bit guest OS?
Is that correct?

I have a Laptop (MacBook Pro 32 bit) and I'm using on it VirtualBox since years and it works fine!

Every supported guest OS.

Windows since 2K is no problem. Or linux guest can be installed.
