Ubuntu – I’m using Ubuntu for the first time(Ubuntu 15.04). Does Ubuntu support virtualization

virtualization

I am installing Ubuntu 15.04. I just wanted to know whether is supports virtualization. I also wanted to know whether I can run virtualization softwares like VMWare, VirtualBox or any others if available for this version of Ubuntu.

Best Answer

Yes. VMWare Player for Linux exists and unless there's a bug specifically with 15.04, it'll run. Literally watched someone run VMWare Player today on Ubuntu. VirtualBox runs on Linux too. I'm assuming Ubuntu.

VMWare Download Page: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free Scroll to bottom and try installing VMware Player

(PROTIP: if it's 32bit, crank the release down to 6)
