Over the past 2 years I have poured much effort into learning more about Linux by creating the Virtual Computer images available on the site.

Up until this evening, Linux has been installed either on "My" desktop, or the servers running in the background.

Tonight I am putting a "Linux Desktop" in a new place in the household. That function is one of , if not the most "Critical Path" in the home.

Tonight, my wife will get her first Linux Desktop.

The new desktop is complete with her "Old Windows XP" system as a Virtual Image.

I really hope I'm ready for this.....

I wanted to say Thank you to all the developers who have made VirtualBox such a success and to the community of dedicated VirtualBox users.

VirtualBoxImages has reached another milestone. Today the number of virtual computers in use had topped 15,000.

It has been about 18 months and since I started building virtual machines and deploying them for download. I am amazed how quickly time has passed and how much I have learned.

Most of all a special THANK YOU to those who have download virtual machines form VirtualBoxImages.com for making it possible.

I started VirtualBoxImages in December 2007 with one virtual disk image I wanted to send out to a couple of friends.

One of them suggested that I put together a tutorial to demonstrate how easy it is to setup a pre-made virtual disk image and get started.
PuppyLinux-4.00-k2 [veedee-Eyes].rar was selected as the demo image.

Now just over a year from the original release date of the Puppy Linux VDI there are over 1000 verified activations of the virtual image.

Get Updated

Choose to upgrade from an outdated Free Virtual Disk Image to the release version for $1.00 USD.

This offer is only available from the "Start Page" of a functioning Virtual Disk Image.

You will receive an email message with a special download link for your purchase. Please allow 12-24 hours for me to process your request.

Thank you for your support

After considering the recommendation from users, I have removed the requirement for registration in order to access the download links.

My goal initially was that registered users would post comments and feedback about the Virtual Images. To date most of the feedback has been from users that did not realize that there was a password file in the archive.

Additionally I had considered sending out eMail blasts to the users when there was a new release. But, fearing the spam police that idea was dropped.

Sun Microsystems recently released the 2.1.2 Version of VirtualBox.

This version has allowed me to complete installations that previously did not work. Along with the release, Sun hosted a Webinar on Feb 4, 2009 to showcase the new features.

One feature that was a highlight was the ability to install 64bit operating systems in VirtualBox where VirtualBox itself was running on a 32bit platform. This one feature is of great interest. I don't have to purchase new hardware just to run a 64 bit OS.

Receive ALL of these releases as they are available.
Purchase the VDI before the "Distribution Release" for $1.00 and receive all version releases FREE.

By reactivating your Tradebit Download link, we will up date your download link for an additional 72 hours allowing you to receive further updates to the OS Revision.

Pre-Release Subscription

Sun announced the release of the newest version of VirtualBox. VirtualBox Version 2.04 is a maintenance releases of 2.0. For a full list of changes and enhancements in the new release see the change log http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog

I have the new version installed and will be using 2.04 to build and test future Virtual Machine releases.

I am looking forward to testing some of the operating system that I had trouble completing the installation process.

VirtualBox 2.04 can be downloaded from the VirtualBox web site for free.
