Assignment Task: Install a version of the UNIX/Linux Operating System (OS) within that software.
Will plan how you will go about that. Please research the internet and locate Oracle's free Virtual Box software. Next, research the internet and locate the latest version of Fedora Linux.
In order to run Virtual Box you would need a computer with the following requirements:
Reasonably powerful x86 hardware. Any recent Intel or AMD processor should do.
Memory. Depending on what guest operating systems you want to run, you will need at least 512 MB of RAM (but probably more, and the more the better). Basically, you will need whatever your host operating system needs to run comfortably, plus the amount that the guest operating system needs. So, if you want to run Windows 8.1 on Windows 7, you probably won't enjoy the experience much with less than 2 GB of RAM. Check the minimum RAM requirements of the guest operating system, they often will refuse to install if it is given less. Sometimes it malfunctions instead. So you'll need that for the guest alone, plus the memory your operating system normally needs.
Hard disk space. While VirtualBox itself is very lean (a typical installation will only need about 30 MB of hard disk space), the virtual machines will require fairly huge files on disk to represent their own hard disk storage. So, to install Windows 8, for example, you will need a file that will easily grow to several 10 GB in size.
A supported host operating system. Presently, we support Windows, many Linux distributions, Mac OS X, Solaris and OpenSolaris. Check the user manual of the VirtualBox version you are using which versions are supported.
A supported guest operating system. Besides the user manual (see below), up-to-date information is available at "Status: Guest OSes Links to an external site.".
1. What is the web site URL for Virtual Box?
2. What is the web site URL for Fedora Linux?
3. What are the requirements for installing Virtual Box?
4. What are the requirements for installing Fedora Linux?
5. Does your system meet the requirements of both? If not, what are your plans to meet the requirements?
