Introduction 1.1 Overview of Ubuntu Ubuntu is an open-source operating system (OS) based on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. Ubuntu incorporates all the features of a Unix OS with an added customizable GUI, which makes it popular in universities and research organizations. Ubuntu is primarily designed to be used on personal computers, although some server editions does also exist. Ubuntu is a popular operating system for cloud computing, with support for OpenStack. Ubuntu's default desktop has been GNOME, since version 17.10, Ubuntu is an African word that literally means “humanity to others." ubuntu® Figure 1 - Ubuntu 21.04 "Hirsute Hippo” running on a machine Ubuntu is released every six months, with long-term support (LTS) releases every two years. As of 22 April 2021, the most recent long-term support release is 20.04 ("Focal Fossa"),which is supported until 2025 under public support and until 2030 as a paid option. The latest standard release is 21.04 ("Hirsute Hippo"), which is supported for nine months. Following are some of the significant features of Ubuntu — ‘+ The desktop version of Ubuntu supports all the normal software on Windows such as Firefox, Chrome, VLC, ete. ‘+ Itsupports the office suite called LibreOffice. ‘Ubuntu has an in-built email software called Thunderbird, which gives the user access to email such as Exchange, Gmail, Hotmail, etc. ‘+ There are a host of free applications for users to view and edit photos. ‘+ There are also applications to manage videos and it also allows the users to share videos. + Itis easy to find content on Ubuntu with the smart searching facility + The best feature is, it is a free operating system and is backed by a huge open source community. 1.2 Overview of Virtual Machines and Oracle Virtu: VirtualBox Figure 2 - Running Ubuntu 20.10 with Oracle VM VirtualBox on Windows 10 2In computing, a virtual machine (VM) is the virtualization/emulation of a computer system. Virtual machines are based on computer architectures and provide functionality of a physical computer. Their implementations may involve specialized hardware, software, or a combination, Some virtual machine emulators, such as QEMU and video game console emulators, are designed to also emulate (or "virtually imitate") different system architectures thus allowing execution of software applications and operating systems written for another CPU or architecture. While Oracle VirtualBox is one of the popular virtual machine emulators in the industry. It is a cross-platform virtualization application. It installs on your existing Intel or AMD-based computers, whether they are running Windows, Mac, Linux or Solaris operating systems. VirtualBox can create and run a "guest" operating system (virtual machine) in a window of the host operating system. The virtual machine provides a self-contained environment in which to experiment with new software without risking damaging changes to the host operating system. ‘We will give an instruction with step-by-step screenshots to show how to install VirtualBox with an example of installing Ubuntu OS as a guest machine running the Operating System, Windows 10. 1.3 System Requirements Before downloading and installing Ubuntu on windows 10 using VirtualBox, the following requirements are essential. - Operating System Version - Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit or 64-bit). - Random Access Memory (RAM) - Minimum 4 GB RAM recommended. - Free Disk Space - Minimum 25 GB free space recommended, - Good Internet Connection to download the VirtualBox and Ubuntu ISO file.2. Installation Guide Part 1: Downloading the Necessary Files Step 1: Download Ubuntu Go to https:/Avww.ubuntu.com/download/desktop and download the latest version of Ubuntu, which is a 64-bit operating system. You will get a .ISO file which is an image of the installation optical disk (i.e., a CD ROM). Remember where you stored the file, reat eeea Download Ubuntu Desktop [Eo Fe Figure 3- Download ISO file from the official Ubuntu Website Step 2: Download Oracle VM VirtualBox Go to VirtualBox website https://www.virtualbox.org/ to download the binary for your current operating system. Since our host machine is running on Windows, choose 'x86/amd64’ from Windows hosts. When download is finished, run the executable file, Continue with the installation of VirtualBox with the defaults. This will open VirtualBox at the end of the installation.Figure 4- VirtualBox Website Homepage Part 2: Create a Virtual Machine Step 1 Open VirtualBox and click on the "New" button. buerererallanaearentaseerrenemensen eae Figure 5— VirtualBox Main WindowStep 2 Choose a name for your virtual machine with its location.
