Virtualbox 2.0

Virtualbox 2.0 is out and now it’s easier to install and maintain.

Install

• Download and register Sun authentication key

wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | \
sudo apt-key add -

• Go to System > Administration > Software Sources and Third-Party Software.

• Add the following sources for Hardy (check your distibution here):

deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian hardy non-free

• Now you can go to Synaptic Package Manager and look for virtualbox. This way you can uninstall previous Virtualbox installations (Synaptic Package Manager will do that for you).

• Don’t forget to install the new Guest Additions if you’re using a Windows Virtual Machine.
• Now you’ll receive updated through Update Manager.
