What is VirtualBox?

VirtualBox is an open-source virtual machine software (note: similar to VMware). VirtualBox was developed by the German Innotek company, software produced by Sun Microsystems, which was written using QT, and was formally renamed Oracle VM VirtualBox after Sun was acquired by Oracle. Innotek releases VirtualBox in the GNU general public License (GPL) and provides a binary version and an OSE version of the code. Users can install and execute Solaris, Windows, DOS, Linux, Os/2 Warp, BSD and other systems as client operating systems on VirtualBox.

Here I use the latest version of the VirtualBox virtual machine (hereinafter referred to as VBox, version number 4.3.14).

What is CentOS?

CentOS (Community Enterprise Operating System, Chinese means: Community Enterprise operating system) is one of the Linux distributions, it comes from Red Hat enterprise Linux is compiled according to the source code released by the open source rules. Because of the same source code, some servers that require a high degree of stability are used with CentOS instead of the commercial version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The difference between the two is that CentOS does not contain closed source code software. CentOS6.5 was released in 2013-12-01.
