Windows on the Linux


















There are at least two applications for which had wanted to migrate to Linux but has not been able to leave Windows applications. The first is a VMWare or VirtualBox and the second is Wine. VMWare (Virtual Machine) or VirtualBox, as the name suggests is an application in it as if there were computers and operating systems that run themselves. So to be able to run Windows programs on it we should install Windows first. Just like when we install Windows on a computer that is still empty. After Windows is installed, the program can be accessed by running the first VMWare or VirtualBox on Linux. After that run Windows which will be loading just as we turn on the computer. Then we will really get into Windows that actually he is running in Linux. Meanwhile Wine or a Windows emulator to work with more modest. Once Wine is installed, we can run Windows applications by clicking two times as in Windows. Including the installer, he will also direct the installation as if it is installed on Linux. So using Wine, to run Windows-based applications on Linux would seem to run the application in Windows.Menginstal VirtualBox or Wine in Ubuntu as easy as installing other applications. 

Once installed VirtualBox to do is make one box that will be filled with the OS that we want that in this case is Windows. Later we will be asked to select what OS we will install, how much RAM memory that we want to use and how much hard disk that we want to wear. Just like when we want to buy a new computer. After the box so, the next is run the box is like running a computer that is still empty. By installing the Windows installer on the CD-ROM we will install Windows just like we install on your regular computer. Windows is already installed it will be able to communicate with Linux to be its host through a network of virtual computers that can be set later.
Wine is more modest indeed does not require setting all sorts. But sometimes for software that has a complex dependence with Windows or Windows applications that dependence with other less successful. So it seems better suited to applications that really stand on their own such as Photoshop, etc..
