I have an Ubuntu Server, without gui of course. It's possible to run a virtualization of Windows in another shell via command line? So I can get running both simultaneous. Thanks

Update

Maybe is useful for somebody. I followed this tutorial and everything went fine. I'm installing windows xp on ubuntu server via rdp :D:D Now I need to know how to limit the resources of the host machine, but that's another story

You can run KVM, Xen or VirtualBox and therein run Windows. But this requires virtualization support in your processor.

    You can verify by looking at 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' and looking for vmx flag. The software is pretty big, just from the size I cannot tell whether it will install a GUI. In theory you do not need one and KVM and XEN for sure do not install one, for VirtualBox I am not sure right now

  • Yes I have the vmx flag. I'm trying to follow a tutorial for installing virtualbox without gui. But it's not very clear and I don't unserstand if I have only the command line via ssh, where I will see the windows virtualized machine:D? via ssh?

I've followed this guide. It takes advantage of Virtual Box's built-in RDP feature.
