Welcome To My VWorld

I’ve been playing with VirtualBox on my Mac Mini the last couple of days and I’m impressed! Not only was I able to install an ancient version of Win95, I also installed my favorite Linux distro Gentoo.

Just downloaded the Gentoo livecd, created a Guest OS for it in VBox and followed the normal Gentoo stage 3 install process. Sweet!

One problem I had was how to talk to the Gentoo VBox install from my Mac host OS. The answer was port forwarding using VirtualBox’s command line tool VBoxManage.
