Virtualbox
VirtualBox is a virtualization platform that will allow you to run other operating systems under ClearOS.
Getting Started
You must have a graphical environment on ClearOS Enterprise before installing VirtualBox. Install KDE or Gnome before continuing.
VirtualBox will want to build some packages, you will need the current kernel sources for this to work.
yum install gcc yum install kernel-devel yum install kernel-headers
-or-
yum install gcc yum install kernel-headers-2.6.32-131.6.1.v6.x86_64.rpm yum install kernel-devel-2.6.32-131.6.1.v6.x86_64.rpm
You will need to download the software for VirtualBox. This can be obtained from their website.
One method is to use wget:
mkdir /root/support && cd /root/support yum -y install wget wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.2/VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.2_73507_rhel6-1.x86_64.rpm
Install the software using yum:
yum install VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.2_73507_rhel6-1.x86_64.rpm
There may be several dependencies, if you have a proper repository, these will resolve correctly.
Launch VirtualBox within XWindows by running the following from xterm

Uninstalling Virtual Box
yum erase VirtualBox-4.1
