united windows and linux screenshots

ok, I finally tried to unite my fedora system with windows XP pro SP2 ( fancy name ) and it worked. Thanks to softpedia.com for the great tutorial and thanks to virtualbox for making it possible. By the way, today I saw that Sun Microsystem has acquired Innotek.

Anyway, these are the screenshots, I just followed the tutorial ( refer to second previous post for that ):

Unite windows and Linux peacefully

The point is, you can have windows and linux running at the same time on one screen and work with both of them at the same time! Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Doing it is very easy, just get the virtualbox into ’seamless mode.’

To do this, you need to install VirtualBox and have a legitimate copy of Windows, whether windows XP or Vista doesn’t matter, something that works ( which unfortunately is not the case with any of them ). Now, configure the virtual machine which is a virtual windows, like this:

1) On the ‘General’ section drag the “Video Memory Size” slider to 64.

2) On the ‘Audio’ section check the “Enable Audio” box.

3) On the ‘Remote Display’ section check the “Enable VRDP Server” box.

Now, run the virtual machine and install the guest additions.

Go to machine > seamless mode and you’re done :D

And don’t forget to leave comments if it worked for you ;)
