Oracle VM VirtualBox
I continued using the Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.1.8 installed on my Windows 7 machine. Oracle VM VirtualBox is cross-platform virtualization software for x86-based systems and is available as Open Source.



Based on my experiences with Project 1 (Pluggable Authentication Module), I made the decision to work with a different Linux distribution. First I attempted to download and install Linux Mint 12 on my virtual machine. The install was successful but the VM would crash immediately after booting up. I tried modifying the settings on the VM but each time the results were the same. I could not resolve the issue with Linux Mint 12 so I downloaded and installed CentOS 5.7 on my VM.

**CentOS ( C **ommunity **Ent** erprise **O** perating **S** ystem**)**
CentOS is a free operating system based on the Linux kernel. It is derived from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) distribution. CentOS developers use Red Hat's source code to create a product similar to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. CentOS is free of charge and technical support is provided by the community via mailing lists, web forums, and chat rooms. The CentOS project relies on donations from users and organizational sponsors.
