Setting up Ubuntu on VirtualBox in Windows Yet another vital lesson. There are so many reason to only access the DeepWeb in a VirtualBox that I don't have time to mention them all, but needless to say whenever you taking your life and well being into risk the more security the better. Now this may seem like a daunting topic, but really it s quite simple. A Virtual Machine is simply a independent OS running within your OS by means of Software Emulation or Hardware Virtualization. What this means to you is you can install a program on windows and run Ubuntu Linux inside there. So first we are going to need that software. Go to your main web browser (the one not running Tor), and go to: And download the VirtualBox for Windows hosts, and install. Nothing special to mention here. Now go download your .iso (Disc Image) of Ubuntu at You want the desktop CD, save it somewhere you will remember. Now launch VirtualBox from the start menu, click on New, and a little Virtual Machine Wizard will pop up, click next. Now you get to name the installation whatever you want (doesn't matter), you can call it Ubuntu for sake of ease, then specify the OS as Linux. On the next page VirtualBox will let you choose the amount of RAM you want to allocate to Ubuntu. If you have 1 GB or less of RAM, I would advise you stick with the recommendation. If, however, you have over 1 GB, about a quarter your RAM or less should be fine. For example, if you have 2 GB of RAM, 512 MB is fine to allocate. If you have 4 GB of RAM, 1 GB is fine to allocate. If you have no idea what RAM is or how much of it you have, just go with the default. Go to the next page and hit Create new Hard Disk, once again hitting next. Choose Dynamically Expanding, and keep it at 8 Gigs. This will create dynamically expanding hard drive the only expands to the size it is filling up to a maximum of 8 Gigs. Go ahead and click finish. Select your new installation and the click Settings and Storage. Then, under CD/DVD Devices next to the box tat says empty you will see a ittle folder icon. Click that and choose the .iso you downloaded earlier. Once you are finshed click ok. Now, go ahead and start your new virtual machine up. Now install it just as if installing Unbutu regularly. Don't worry when it comes to the hard drive stuff, it is supposed to find that whole 8 gig, and install to it (it will format it but you will not lose anything). Afterwards, in order to use your virtualized installation (instead of continually booting the live CD), you have to change the CD/DVD Device entry to be Empty again. Peace, DigitalAlch
