如何在Debian Linux 6操作系统下为家庭使用安装VirtualBox虚拟化软件？

Oracle VM VirtualBox(以前称为Sun VirtualBox)是一个虚拟化软件包。

您需要将VirtualBox作为应用程序安装在现有Linux主机操作系统上。
安装后，您可以添加客户机操作系统，例如MS-Windows，Fedora，Ubuntu，FreeBSD，OpenBSD等。

选项#1：使用apt-get命令安装VirtualBox

以root用户身份执行以下命令：

# apt-get install virtualbox

输出示例：

选项2：使用Oracle提供的二进制文件安装VirtualBox

此选项允许您安装最新版本。
您需要在此处下载软件包。
请注意，软件包体系结构必须与Linux内核体系结构匹配。
例如，如果您运行的是64位内核，则安装适当的AMD64软件包(无论您使用的是Intel还是AMD CPU都没有关系)。
您可以使用wget命令下载.deb文件：

$ cd /tmp

$ wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.14/virtualbox-4.1_4.1.14-77440~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb

输出示例：

您可以使用dpkg命令安装.deb软件包，输入：

$ sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-4.1_4.1.14-77440~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb

或者

# dpkg -i virtualbox-4.1_4.1.14-77440~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
