VMware also has an Open Source version: VMware Workstation 8.0 and Player 4.0 Open Source,
but I think it only run on Windows host machine, I don't know, I'm not so familiar with VMware, haven't use it.
Unlike VirtualBox which is available also on Linux.

I have used Virtual Box and I think it is pretty cool. I used it on my windows machine to run Linux.

I once tried to "test" Mac OS on my windows machine .. never worked for me Sad

Now I don't want to buzz-kill (nice tutorial by the way), but except for the set-up CentOS tutorial, there was already a tutorial on this (created by yours truly Tongue

).

Thanks for not "buzz-killin" me, sorry I did not search thoroughly for an existing tutorial, but anyway, for any ones reading this tutorial please find below link for alternatives:

To complete this tutorial, here's how you add port forwarding on VirtualBox, because maybe for someone who have install/setup web server or other services on their VM tried to access it from their local LAN and wonders why its not accessible.

Open command prompt (cmd.exe) and execute the following commands:

Code:

cd C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox

VBoxManage modifyvm "myvm" --natpf1 "guestssh,tcp,,22,,22"

VBoxManage modifyvm "myvm" --natpf1 "guesthttp,tcp,,80,,80"

VBoxManage modifyvm "myvm" --natpf1 "guesthttps,tcp,,443,,443"

Please change "myvm" to the name of your VM, the above commands will port forward from guest to host ssh, http and https access. For example, your host machine IP is 192.168.0.1, on your local network, other computer should be able to access your web server running on your VM thru your host IP(http://192.168.0.1).

To delete the port forwarding rules, you execute the following commands:

Code:

cd C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox

VBoxManage modifyvm "myvm" --natpf1 delete "guestssh"

AFAIK, the open source parts are not enough to build the entire product, at least for vmware workstation, I could be wrong though. Its also not free, so if you could it would be illegal unless you have a license for it.

Virtualbox is more comparable to vmware workstation than player which is its main appeal.

You're welcome Wink

. Thanks for noting and posting my tutorials, although I must sat that your tutorial is way better than mine. I personally like VMWare Player mire though. Have you ever given that a try?

Nope, sorry, VirtualBox works for me the first time I tried and I'm kind of got used with it, besides I like and support Open Source projects and I think VirtualBox have more open source support than VMware, on the other side VMware are more common on corporate Windows environment.

I have never used VMware but people who use it swear by it ..... The enterprise version seems to be pretty solid ... never got a chance to use it so far

I used to use VirtualBox, but for some reason (can't remember why though), I started using VMWare, and I must say that I found it to be way better than VirtualBox. I don't really like anything ny Sun anyway ever since Oracle took over (I don't count Java here).
