Move Win 2000 Guest made in Win Host to Ubuntu Server

Post by fmcatalan »

Is it possible to move a guest I created with win 2000 in a Windows 7 x64 host to Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 LTS?

If so, what do I need to move?
the network bridge I have created on the win guest - win host, is possible with the win guest - ubuntu host?
Since Ubuntu Server is consoleonly, I assume that I need to log in to the guest trough RDP? Or are others frontend or GUIs to use a VM hosted on a console based server?
I searched on the forum, but I didn't find anything on this kind of thing, and since I'm fairly inexperienced on virtualization, I bow down to you, experienced forum dudes. Please help me.

thanks a lot in advance

You are looking for the export/import feature:
virtualbox . org/manual/ch01.html#ovf

(Sorry, can't post urls :evil:)

Or SSH
