please let me know (see previous mail which may not be put on the
linuxusers list)
1. I have Kubuntu LINUX 8.0.4 from CANONICAL (ONLY security upgrades
are free from 3 years).
2. How do I install virtualbox on Kubuntu LINUX 8.0.4 or should I say
accomodate UBUNTU 8.10 ----- newer linux version --- free and legally
for a 10 user organization or even say a 100 user organization ----
read the license below, i have to install it manually it appears to
say ---- no sysadmin tools can be used or i have to let each USER
download virtualbox binaries from sun and install it themselves.
3. now, my problem. I get virtualbox, I get Kubuntu LINUX 8.0.4
------- my OLD machine no longer accepts UBUNTU LINUX 8.10.
So do I install ANY LINUX which virtualbox supports ---- and then hope
that virtualbox supports all the LATER versions of LINUX (including
8.10) so that I can get all the upgrades from the world on the LATER
Linuxes and stick to my old tested Kubuntu 8.0.4 ---------------------
and have LICENSED copies of Window running under virtualbox.
I mean how much RAM will I end up using on my machine.
Erach
open virtualbox is there
and for binaries read this chief feature for small organizations where
people themselves install virtualbox ---- they have to install it
THEMSELVES --- please ask sun for clarifications.
What exactly do you mean by personal use and academic use in the
Personal Use and Evaluation License?
Personal use is when you install the product on one or more PCs
yourself and you make use of it (or even your friend, sister and
grandmother). It doesn't matter whether you just use it for fun or run
your multi-million euro business with it. Also, if you install it on
your work PC at some large company, this is still personal use.
However, if you are an administrator and want to deploy it to the 500
desktops in your company, this would no longer qualify as personal
use. Well, you could ask each of your 500 employees to install
VirtualBox but don't you think we deserve some money in this case?
We'd even assist you with any issue you might have.
Use at academic institutions such as schools, colleges and
universities by both teachers and students is covered. So in addition
to the personal use which is always permitted, academic institutions
may also choose to roll out the software in an automated way to make
it available to its students and personnel.
