A short tutorial on emulating another Operating System (OS) in Windows.
Oracle VirtualBox download link
http://VirtualBox.org
Ubuntu Linux download link
http://ubuntu.com
Damn Small Linux download link
http://damnsmalllinux.org
Important note: Before installing VirtualBox, it is recommended that you manually create a system restore point, as one of our systems cannot start properly after recording this episode, and thus needed a restore.
PS: We chose to use Oracle VirtualBox in favour of other emulators (e.g. Windows Virtual PC) due to its advanced functionality. For example, this emulator can install and run Windows 8 RP (Release Preview), while most other emulators simply displayed a blue screen during installation.
