Hi Members,
I would like to run Debian and test new software packages utilizing Debian
as a virtual environment. inside my Windows 7 OS. I would like to be able
to install Debian in this fashion and have the ability to utilize a Debian
GUI desktop as well.
Question #1 please:
Would kindly like to know if Oracle's VM VirtualBox is the recommended
"virtualization software package" to install to accomplish this procedure.
Question #2 please:
Which "Stable" version of Debian ("Squeeze" or "Wheezy") is recommended
that would best serve this purpose?
I have been reading about VirtualBox and studying the steps involved to
install Debian in this manner. I'm sure I will have additional questions
but would simply like to start with my initial questions above.
A couple of how-to links I've discovered:
Installing with a GUI desktop:
