VirtualBox is a virtual machine monitor produced by Oracle (previously Sun Microsystems). It is largely open-source (GPL) with a few feature packs that are closed source. It is very easy to use and has good support for many host and guest platforms.
Features
- It has very good documentation so it is very easy to use out of the box.
- VirtualBox supports booting from real media or images of floppies and CD/DVD-ROM's.
- It also supports debugging.
- The ability to access host USB drives.
You are able to also use features of the host operating system where applicable. Some features make using the guest OS easier. For example, "pointer integration" (which allows you to move the cursor between the host OS and certain guest OS's seamlessly).
Virtualized Hardware
VirtualBox supports the virtualization of the following hardware:
Audio
- Intel AC'97
- Intel HD Audio
- Creative Soundblaster 16
Networking
- AMD PCNet PCI II (AM79C970A)
- AMD PCNet FAST III (AM79C973)
- Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)
- Intel PRO/1000 T Server (82543GC)
- Intel PRO/1000 MT Server (82545EM)
- Paravirtualized networking (through KVM's 'virtio' networking drivers)
