![]() The other reason was also that it was fast and has very little bloat. But hey, VirtualBox is a full-featured virtualization solution that’s made to be FREE. One of the main reasons why I opted VIrtualBox over any others for my Linux machine was it being a free to use product. Despite it being an Open Source Software, it’s actually comparable with the likes of VMWare! VirtualBox is an Open Source VM software that Oracle offer (via the Sun acquisition). On my Linux Mint 8 machine – Oracle VirtualBox – FREE! So instead, I’ll just share my own personal experience on the ones that I’ve been using so far. ![]() I won’t be covering all since I haven’t actually used all of them. There are a few virtualization solutions available both Mac and Linux such as VMWare, Parallels, and VIrtualBox. Not too smart here.īut fret not, there is an alternative! And the the answer is virtualization! But in order to email it out, I’ve to hook onto the VPN which the client only runs on Windows. I’m working on a paper on Open Office on Linux. I ended up using ONLY the Windows partition. I know, I’ve dual-booted Linux Mint (Ubuntu) and Windows before on my work notebook. So, this is obviously not a very practical solution. Also, it defeats the purpose of using a non-Windows OS in the first place. One is obviously to setup a dual-boot environment where you get to boot into the corporate-friendly Windows OS which would run all those corporate softwares, such as VPN client, Email and conference clients and perhaps even VOIP systems.īut by dual-booting, you would have reboot the system just to switch over to another platform which really kills productivity. Why should one get shun off just because the corporate standards and softwares only support Windows. Don’t get me wrong here. Instead, I personally think that if I choose to run Mac and Linux OS, so be it. It’s not that I’ve anything against Windows. It’s a (sad) fact that most corporate workplace are still using Windows as the only supported platform for work.
