virtual machine on linux w/ windows 7
Hi,
I'm thinking of installing a virtual machine on my linux (centos 5.x) box. I'm wondering which virtual machine should I get: virtualbox, parallels, vmware.
2) What's the most efficient?
3) I have my centos server running. Will I be able to run my server with no downtime while running the virtual machine at the same time?
The linux box is I think a black edition AMD 2.0 ghz and 4 GB RAM. So I think it should be sufficient to run both at the same time. Thanks,
Victor

You may want to increase the memory, if you can.

Hi hanccocka,
How much memory more? You think 4 GB may not be enough?

1) Should I download the RHEL 5 for Centos 5.x?

2) It doesn't mention about system requirements for VB. What are the system requirements?
Thanks,
Victor

i would usually state as much memory as possible.
but another 4gb should suffice.

You have enough memory, 4GB is enough for any kind of linux distro,windows xp,server 2003, unless of course you are planning on running Windows server 2008 and up then you would have to consider memory upgrade yes
