Experiments with Sun xVM Virtualbox

I have been recently trying out using Sun xVM Virtualbox to create a paravirtualized machine on my Windows XP based laptop. The Host OS thus remains Windows XP, while the Guest OS that I've installed is Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 (on a portable USB hard-drive).

My objective of configuring this infrastructure is to try out creating a Linux based virtual machine without disturbing the existing Windows XP system, to be able to try out various other (Oracle) software that can be installed on Unix.

I shall post detailed information on configuring this out in my next post.
