Re: Virtual box to do cross-browser testing

John Almberg <jalmberg@xxxxxxxxxxx> a écrit :

Anyone have experience using Sun's "Virtual Box" on FreeBSD? I am looking for a way to run virtual Windows machines to do cross-browser testing...

Don't need sound card or anything complex... if I can get it working good enough to have access to IE 6, 7, and 8 (with 3 different virtual boxes, probably), that would be enough for me.

But before I jump through the hoops of setting up a new FreeBSD box and setting up this virtual box software, I'd like to hear how others have fared with this software.

Any experience, much appreciated.

It seems that VirtualBox still has problems, according to the FreeBSD wiki :

Maybe you should try qemu instead, as it seems much more stable now :

I used qemu to virtualize Windows Server 2003 some time ago (on Gentoo and Mandriva boxes), and it was working (as long as you consider that a Windows system "works").
