Nachricht: <blockquote data-quote="eratte" data-source="post: 5263421" data-attributes="member: 2579">Zum neuen "major update" gibt es auch eine neue News:VirtualBox ist eine Virtualisierungssoftware des US-amerikanischen Unternehmens Oracle, die ursprünglich von der InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH aus Baden-Württemberg entwickelt wurde. Nach der Übernahme durch Sun Microsystems im Februar 2008 wurde es Sun xVM VirtualBox bezeichnet, da Sun es in sein xVM-Portfolio eingliederte. Sun Microsystems wurde 2010 von Oracle übernommen, das Oracle VM VirtualBox nunmehr ebenfalls in sein VM-Portfolio eingliederte. Die freie Variante behielt jedoch den ursprünglichen Namen.VirtualBox kann auf den Betriebssystemen FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, OS/2 bzw. eComStation, Solaris und Windows als Wirtssystem auf x86- (32 Bit) und x86-64-Systemen (64 Bit) eingesetzt werden. (Anmerkung: Version 6.x unterstützt nur noch 64 Bit)Als Gastsystem können wiederum x86- bzw. x64-Betriebssysteme eingesetzt werden. Für eine Vielzahl an Betriebssystemen werden Treiber, Kernel-Module bzw. -Erweiterungen mitgeliefert; diese stehen bei der Einrichtung einer neuen virtuellen Maschine zur Auswahl.  Quelle: <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox" target="_blank">VirtualBox (Wikki)</a><a href="https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads" target="_blank">Downloads</a><img src="https://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/wiki/Screenshots/tm_Mint17.1_on_Ubuntu_14.04.png?format=raw" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/wiki/Screenshots/tm_Ubuntu_14.04_on_Windows_7.png?format=raw" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><blockquote>VirtualBox 6.1.10 (released June 05 2020)This is a maintenance release.
