Virtualbox Virtual Machine to install CentOS 6.5 graphic tutorial, virtualboxcentos

What is Virtualbox?

VirtualBox is an open-source Virtual Machine Software (Note: similar to vmware ). VirtualBox is a software developed by Innotek, Germany and developed by Sun Microsystems. It is written using Qt and officially renamed Oracle VM VirtualBox after Sun is acquired by Oracle. Innotek releases VirtualBox with GNU General Public License (GPL) and provides code for binary and OSE versions. Users can install and execute Solaris, Windows, DOS, Linux, OS/2 Warp, BSD, and other systems on VirtualBox as the client operating system.

Here I use the latest version of Virtualbox Virtual Machine (VBOX, version 4.3.14 ).

What is CentOS?

CentOS (Community Enterprise Operating System) is one of the Linux releases. It is compiled by Red Hat Enterprise Linux according to the open source code. Because of the same source code, some servers that require high stability use CentOS instead of the commercial version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The difference between the two lies in that CentOS does not contain closed source code software. CentOS6.5 was released on November 12.

For CentOS Linux virtual machines in VirtualBox, how does one mount the virtual optical drive under the command line?

Mount-t iso9660/dev/cdrom/mnt/abc

Use virtualbox to create a virtual machine and install Windows Server 2003 and Centos on this virtual machine. By default, centos is started.

First install win2003 and then install centos. In centos after startup
