building physical machines v building virtual machines
just take a look at the intsallation process / sequence for a DELL notebook and how many different HW combinations there are then look at a virtualbox vm or vmware vm spec
virtualbox @zabbix 4.0 LTS appliance #sysadmin #netadmin
extreme virtualisation with @hp #elitebooks running @oracle @virtualbox 6 and @linuxlite 4 and #windows10 vms
first lets use a HP8560 EliteBook with 16G ram running virtualbox 6 to build and clone linux lite 4 into 3 vms
then lets remote desktop to a HP8440 EliteBook with 8G ram running virtualbox with a windows 10 vm
oracle #virtualbox 6.x and @linuxlite 4.x
uninstall (preinstalled) virtualbox-* packages
ignore SCARY warning

The following packages will be REMOVED:
linux-image-unsigned-4.15.0-34-generic{u}
linux-modules-4.15.0-34-generic{u} virtualbox-guest-utils
virtualbox-guest-x11{a}
then mount virtualbox iso then
# cd /media/virtualbox # ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
finally reboot
note there is a bug with virtualbox 6.x and linuxlite 4.x screen does not autoresize so you have to manually change display size in the guest then resize your virtualbox window
stop press
auto screen resize now works after an
# aptitude safe-upgrade
