Hello fellow VBoxers, Here's what I am thinking. Let's say I order and receive any modern Windows machine. It comes with the OS installed but with no install media, as is the norm these days. Let us say I want to run several VM's on that machine instead of just one. So I could install VirtualBox under Windows and be on my way - but I don't like using Windows as the underlying (host) OS due to its relatively slow performance and potential security issues. So I am wondering if it is possible to, say, install Linux, compress the NTFS file systems housing Windows and then run Linux and run VirtualBox under Linux and within that VirtualBox environment to run Windows as a guest VM. ANd if that is possible - then how does one do that? Thanks. Boris. |
