[Cialug] Virtualbox under Ubuntu 11.04

[Dave Hala Jr]

Here's what I did when I was stuck in dependacy hell on centos 4.9. I
downloaded and installed from the command line, using the file from the
following link:

http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.2/VirtualBox-4.1.2-73507-Linux_amd64.run

Be advised that when this was compiling, I did a get a hyperthreading
error and the server rebooted. However, after the reboot I started the
Virtual Box manager inside KDE and loaded a couple of VM's and
everything is fine.

I believe there are some others on this list that use PHPvirtualbox as
an interface.
