Why Ubuntu virtual machine?

Allen17 Nov 2011 8:36 PM
I have several computers running various versions of Ubuntu from 10.04 to 11.10. Can I just install the WDK directly in Ubuntu without adding the complexity of Virtual Box? Why run a VM when I can just run Ubuntu directly?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, you may install the WDK directly on Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10. However its not tested for Ubuntu 11.10, so not sure if there may be some issues.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Vivek<br><br><div class="quote"><div class="quotetop">QUOTE<cite>(Allen @ 17 Nov 2011 8:36 PM)</cite></div><blockquote class="quotemain">I have several computers running various versions of Ubuntu from 10.04 to 11.10.

I have Ubuntu 11.10 (just upgraded from 10.04 before trying WDK). The WDK installation could not be completed.<br><br><div class="quote"><div class="quotetop">QUOTE<cite>(Vivek Jani @ 18 Nov 2011 3:53 AM)</cite></div><blockquote class="quotemain">Yes, you may install the WDK directly on Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10.
