What are some cool things I can do with Virtualbox? I've already installed a copy of Ubuntu to start learning Linux, and managed to get a copy of Windows XP as well.
From there, I dunno what to do. How can I effectively learn how to use Virtualbox so I can add it to my minimal resume?

>add it to my minimal resume
m8 it's literally just an average pc except it's virtualized
what about a BSD machine?
Install Gentoo
Go to TPB and get a copy of every Windows & DOS there is. Play Doom 1 on every single one of them. Make sure the virtual PC is setup to reflect a mid-level PC for each OS era. You should learn a lot.
>resume
Wouldn't VMware or even Xen or KVM be better for this than fucking VirtualBox?
setup a file server on debian
>What are some cool things I can do with Virtualbox?
Install DOS, then upgrade it all the way up to Windows 10.
install arch then run rm -rf /
hahah, dude you cant seriously put that on your resume
Get windows 3.1 , get it online and visit the one site I know of that actually visable in 3.1 to download extra stuff

In VBox you can do what you can do on any PC. Just sometiems harder to configure.
Let's imagine someone gifted you a new desktop PC right now. What would you do on that PC? You can do the same in VBox and not more.
Oh and I mean 3.11 because that has network stuff Windows for Workgroups.

1995 all over again.
And here's a screenshot of my own vm doing this completely pointless thing.
create a snapshot with a vpn connection and a browser open to all your favorite porno sites. Enjoy!
Set up a virtual network to connect multiple virtual machines up to and have them interact with each other.
Use the virtual network to set up a lil infrastructure with two or more VMs interacting with each other.
Then use pentesting tools to find vulnerabilities in your mini infrastructure to practive exploit searching and post-exploit persistence threats.
Then add everythnig you did to a résumé.
Get Windows 10 AME: ameliorated.info
Install it.
Dick around.
XDDD HAHAHAHAH!!!! JAJAJ!! SO EPIK THE JOKE!!! LMAO!!
>VirtualBox
How about you play with real hypervisors? Get into KVM, look at libvirt, try oVirt, check out OpenStack, or maybe take a look at VMWare's offerings and set up an ESXi host.
VirtualBox is as much a real hypervisor as kvm, libvirt, qemu etc.
Those other hypervisors you listed are great in production-ready settings or if you want to reimplement proxmox or VSphere, but VirtualBox is great for hobbyists that want something that's easy to learn.
Well, AME version is a SHITLOAD better than standard Win10. Like fucking night and day. It feels more like Win7.
I think you are confusing VirtualBox with SandBoxie. The latter is a nice low resource sandbox good for web browsing and trying minor program installs.
>real hypervisors
A hypervisor is an VM you dong.
>pirated windows 10 "distro"
You pretty much have to assume this shit has malware baked into it, since it can only be modified in hackish, opaque ways.
install macos for xcode so you can compile your iphone apps. Make a basic app and add that to your resume.
If you want something for your resume, start looking into KVM / QEMU and Xen.
Not finding anything as of yet. It is in a VM so that doesn't matter anyway.
Which is better from a technical standpoint, VirtualBox or VMWare Player?
You can set up your own business intranet using all virtual machines and manage them. File, print, email, app, etc. servers plus user workstations.
>intranet
Intranets are highly underrated, if you ask me. Everyone needs to set them up everywhere. Imagine going around sniffing out dozens of local intranets where small groups are doing whatever.

Truly, I've made a VM called Hell.
oracle is fucking cancer. use QEMU instead
hell virt-manager makes it as braindead easy as vbox does
When I installed Ubuntu or Windows 10 on VMware, it automatically sets up vmware tools and whatever other things that makes hardware/gpu setup incredibly easy, and just a couple of clicks no need to enter or search any commands.
Does virtual box, or any other virtualizing tool on other OSs do the same thing too? This is pretty much the reason I'm on windows with VMware, setting stuff up is so simple, but I'd like to consider other options.
VirtualBox uses simple drop down tools for the "hardware" setup. for anything else like drivers and such you setup like you normally would in the OS.
Is that you, Braden?

You could intentionally get full of viruses try to get rid of them manually
Learn about snapshots, snapshot trees and linked clones. Also set up your VM so that it has an SSD and TRIM operations shrink the vdi file the disk is in, so that you actually reclaim the space when you delete a big file in your VM.
ESX, Xen or KVM would probably be better resume padding than VirtualBox since they're what data centers tend to use. Learning about SANs, FibreChannel and ethernet bonding/teaming would be good additions too if you're looking at managing corporate systems.
>implying OP is using linux on real hardware
you can install OSX and test things out for mac users. Or just impress people by running OSX in a window on a Linux box.

Just learn, not really do much.
If you wanna use something real cool go with QEMU
Install the ArvhiveTeam warrior
get the sound and 3d acceleration working in windows 98SE, then play mechwarrior 3
learn to do this live in real time, and do it in the job interview

This but unironically.
This doesn't work due to the NT kernel split
nice dubs and fun project, but i honestly cannot imagine why anyone would want to waste so much time doing this considering dosbox exists and a myriad of doom source ports exist, and doom has even been ported to SDL to run natively on other platforms, and whatnot.
i mean i like typing set blaster lines and correcting IRQ conflicts as much as the next guy but i can't imagine having so much free time that i do it when i don't need to.
Its literally just the evaluation copy of win 10 enterprise with a bunch of telemetry turned off and windows update stuff removed or disabled... you can do all the same shit yourself if you dont trust random russian hackers.

I don't think knowing how linux is really a resume advantage anyknow unless you're an IT Support mouthbreather trying to escape.
No offence to IT support mouthbreathers I was one for a while.
This guy has been posting his p.o.s windows image around here for probably more than a year now, I have no idea why he hasn't moved on to literally anything else.
>It is in a VM so that doesn't matter anyway.
rip user
The steps to replicate the image are well documented so if you're autistic enough you can download genuine windows and apply the AME fixes to it.
You're wrong, check youtube, it's full of walkthroughs.
>honestly cannot imagine
See: Getting games to run on old system was a circus act most of the time. It depended on your system resources. Around the time Doom 1 came out there had been a massive fire in one of the very few RAM chip factories. That skyrocketed the prices for all PC RAM. If you had 8MB of RAM you were well off or fucking lucky. Doom needed every bit of 8MB of RAM to run in top performance. It was a bit like a Crysis for the early 1990s. Basically, you just learn each OS fairly well installing old games.
The flip side to that is setting up a network on each OS.
