Subject: Installing Debian inside Windows 7 utilizing VirtualBox
Hi Members,
I would like to run Debian and test new software packages utilizing Debian
as a virtual environment. inside my Windows 7 OS. I would like to be able to
install Debian in this fashion and have the ability to utilize a Debian GUI
desktop as well.
Question #1 please:
Would kindly like to know if Oracle's VM VirtualBox is the recommended
"virtualization software package" to install to accomplish this procedure.
Question #2 please:
Which "Stable" version of Debian ("Squeeze" or "Wheezy") is recommended that
would best serve this purpose?
I have been reading about VirtualBox and studying the steps involved to
install Debian in this manner. I'm sure I will have additional questions but
would simply like to start with my initial questions above.
A couple of how-to links I've discovered:
Installing with a GUI desktop:

Installing without a GUI desktop

Thank you
I am running Wheezy and Jessie/sid, in different MS Windows 7 directories of
course, in the current version of VMware Player without any problems
whatsoever.
I have also evaluated the Oracle VM, but prefer the VMware player as I have
not run into any problems with installing Debian.
Download the iso and follow the installer prompts.
