With a virtual machine, you can run an operating system like an application inside your current operating system. VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software from Oracle for creating virtual machines. What is VirtualBox and what are its advantages? In an earlier tutorial, I showed you how to install VMWare on Ubuntu, but in this one, we’ll be using Oracle VirtualBox to create virtual machines and installing Windows 10 on them. If, like me, you’re an infrequent user of Windows and don’t want to trouble yourself with dual booting Ubuntu and Windows 10, I suggest installing Windows 10 inside Linux by creating a virtual machine. It works well, except you have to switch between the operating systems by restarting them. One way to use the two systems together is to dual boot Windows and Linux. At the top of the tower is Debian - carefully organizing and fitting everything so it all works together.I regularly encourage people to use Linux, and when I give them reasons to switch, I always mention that they can use Windows and Linux together if they’re ‘scared of Linux’. Next is all the software that you run on the computer. Debian comes with over 43000 packages (precompiled software that is bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine), a package manager (APT), and other utilities that make it possible to manage thousands of packages on thousands of computers as easily as installing a single application. Of course, the thing that people want is application software: programs to help them get what they want to do done, from editing documents to running a business to playing games to writing more software. Linux is a completely free piece of software started by Linus Torvalds and supported by thousands of programmers worldwide. Debian systems currently use the Linux kernel. The kernel is the most fundamental program on the computer and does all the basic housekeeping and lets you start other programs. At the core of an operating system is the kernel.
An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. This operating system that we have created is called Debian. The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system.
