How to Install Linux Mint 7 on a VirtualBox by britec.co.uk

Virtualbox is for those who would like to run an alternate operating system inside Windows rather than dual-boot. Using this software allows you complete control over a virtual environment. If you have the license, you can install another copy of Windows inside Windows, or a Linux distribution, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, even OS/2 Warp!

Here is an example tutorial of how to set up Linux Mint 7 inside Virtualbox.

How much ram do you have and how much ram did you let mint 7 use in virtual box, maybe give mint more ram to use?
