Conquest Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 for windows,vmware if you can float like a pirate or pay like a boss. vbox is too buggy and oracle has made it into sh*t.for apple , parallels desktop. For linux , vbox unfortunately. its not unusable but certain features are buggy. In fact when it comes to hiding ability , vbox is best cus its open sourced.still the bugs kill the purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToMKoL Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 There is vmware player which is free for non-commercial use. For me it's the best solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conquest Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Hi How much memory (RAM) space (HDD) and cpu should I allocate to the Virtual Machine and witch win os can u recommend thanksDepends on your usage. If you are going to debug small apps, only allocate as much ram as recommended for the os . If you are debugging memory hungry apps, allocate some realistic amount of ram (if your application consumes 1gb ram and 2gb for os , 3+gb is realistic amount . anything less will create issues). If you are unsure about the amount, start with large amount of ram and load the application, check memory consumption and resize ram accordingly . Always keep the hardware-assisted virtualization enabled to reduce stress on cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
