My laptop does not a lot of RAM. I have installed Virtual box on my windows 7 machine.
How can I install a Ubuntu environment with just console?
Thank you.
Download from ubuntu.com the ubuntu server 12.04 LTS .iso image (for server always use the latest LTS edition).
Create a new VM machine (512 MB RAM)
In storage settings change empty DVD with the .iso (first boot)
start the vm machine. (it will boot from .iso)
Follow the Ubuntu server installation instructions.
ubuntu server and windows environment
first in ubuntu server run:
sudo tasksel
and choose for install openssh and samba server
on windows
download and install putty and winscp
with putty you can manage ubuntu server through windows and
with winscp you can copy delete etc ubuntu server files and directories
