VirtualBox 3.1 Beginners Guide Review | The PC Report

Here is our first ever book review at The PC Report! We were lucky enough to be sent a digital copy of this book from Packt Publishing to give our opinions on, and I will say straight off that I was impressed with what I read in the book and the quality of the writing. If you want a small sample of the book, Packt has a sample chapter available for download here (PDF link).

If you haven’t already figured it out, the VirtualBox 3.1 Beginner’s Guide, written by Alfonso Romero, is basically a book that covers everything a user needs to know about Oracle VM VirtualBox – the free virtualization application that I wrote a small guide on a few months ago. This book blows my guide right out of the water in the sheer amount of content and the detail the tutorials go into to help you understand everything about VirtualBox.

VirtualBox 3.1 Beginner's Guide Book now available !

At last… the book I worked on during the last 6 months or so has been published!

Since virtualization is a pretty popular subject nowadays, I hope this book helps to promote one of the best virtualization software packages available: VirtualBox from Sun Microsystems (now a part of Oracle).

Overview of VirtualBox 3.1: Beginner's Guide

• Get up and running with VirtualBox to start working with your own virtual machines
• Effectively administer and use virtual machines in a home/office environment
• Analyze virtual machines with the most commonly used software tools
• Create your first virtual machine with VirtualBox on Windows/Linux with step-by-step instructions and screenshots
