I use Linux on the desktop (currently Ubuntu),
but occasionally need to use Windows for things like webinars, OS-specific
testing, etc. I started using VirtualBox
for virtualization around six months ago, and have been reasonably
satisfied; Windows boots quickly, and everything "just works." That is,
until yesterday.
I was given a linux VM image running a web server and some applications I
needed to review. On top of that, I needed to do so over WebEx, so that I
could share my screen with somebody else. This meant I needed the following
to work:
- Internet access for my Windows VM
- Access to my linux VM from my Windows VM
- Ideally, access to both guest VMs from my linux host
- Ideally, internet access for my linux host
