Ubuntu 14.04 + Virtual Box and CorelDraw

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1605 / 2 Years ago, wed, june 22, 2022, 1:28:01

I have Win7/Ubuntu dual boot. I have no reason to use Win anymore, except CorelDRAW which is a must, I'm bored of switching between these two.

My plan is to install Ubuntu on 24GB SSD (20GB for /root, 4GB for /swap), and 500GB SATA to set as /home. After that, need to install VirtualBox, set up Win7 and install CorelDRAW.

Is that possible? Important thing is that VirtualBox + Windows + CorelDRAW must be on /home, because theres only 20GB on /root.

As an aside, I'd recommend putting your swap on your HDD rather than your SSD - this is for two main reasons:

4 GB of a 24 GB drive is a large percentage. SSDs run best when you're using below a certain percentage of their storage (I think the number is around 80%)

Lots of writes from the swap, which will likely lead to degradation of the hard drive faster

As for the rest of it, you should be good to go. Virtualbox lets you put the windows 7 virtual hard drive wherever you please.
