I have installed Ubuntu OS for a group of citizens as it has in fact been too ‘difficult as well as complex’ for them. A lot of citizens need to maintain their current Windows installations, and for example, I suggest installing the Operating System on a virtual partition.

First of all, I must advise you that copying an operating system takes up somewhat a bit of memory. I’d declare you must at least have 512 on your computer, as well as if possible 1GB or else more.

At present, download the Ubuntu OS, with the VirtualBox. Ubuntu downloads as an ISO file, do not run it so far! Yet if you do not make out what an ISO file is or else does, it does not affair as VB sorts it out for you.

As you have downloaded it, run the VirtualBox setup plus install it (maintaining the default selection unless you include several reasons not to do so). You can obtain a notice from Windows Security regarding installing a USB controller with network adapters, enable them to be installed. Once that is finished, open up the installation file for Ubuntu. I can guess that due to the vast differentiation in size, you are most likely still waiting for it to conclude downloading - so do a bit else until it is completed.

At this time open the VirtualBox program. It will most likely prompt you to register, so do so if you have a reason not to. After that, when that dialog is disappeared, select as ‘New’. And Click on the next and afterward type the given name as ‘Ubuntu Linux’. And after that, choose the ‘OS Type’ as ‘Linux 2.6′. Then it request how much RAM must be owed to the virtual machine; by default the slider is at 256Mb, which should be very well, but it you have memory to spare do make use of it as it will advance performance. Then it will request you for a ‘Virtual Hard Disk’, so choose as ‘New’ as well as select the ‘Dynamically expanding image’. And again it will request you after that what size you need the HD size to start off at. Ubuntu almost requires 5Gb, so select 5Gb if space is widespread, or else select more if it isn’t. And after that click again on the ‘Next’ and subsequently ‘Finish’. Then choose ‘Next’ once more, and after that click on the ‘Finish’. At this moment it might seem like the wizard has iced up, but it has not, give it a minute or else two to generate what you have demanded for.

One time this is finished, choose the ‘Settings’ and after that click on the ‘CD/DVD-ROM’ tab. Tick mark as ‘Mount CD/DVD drive’ as well as afterward choose the ‘ISO Image File’. Then again click on the ‘Add’ at the top, browse to the ISO you downloaded, as well as also choose the ‘Open’. After that, when it goes back to the earlier window, click again on the ‘Select’ and after that once more on ‘OK’. Then proceed to highlight ‘Ubuntu Linux’ and after that click on the ‘Start’. Then pursue the following steps to install Ubuntu.
