veeDee-Eyes Weekly Examination (31-Aug-2008 thru 06-Sept-2008)

Two new version of VirtualBox were released last week with much fan fair. VirtualBox 2.0 was released two days after version 1.6.6. I had high hopes to load the new Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha running the new Kernal 2.6.2x. But, this was not to be the case. Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 5 still failed to load and install in VirtualBox 2.0.

With so many attempts to load different system, we began publishing the VirtualBox Machine "logs" of the systems that failed to boot or load. The loges were made available to the VirtualBox development team. Now, for those that are interested the logs can be viewed here.

Additionally, I would like to thank Andy Hall - Sun xVM VirtualBox's Project Manager for his comments, feedback on our site.

This past week the number of confirmed "veeDee-Eyes.com virtual machines" that have been used exceeded 2500 computers !!!. We know the actual number is higher due to the fact many of the initial virtual images did not have the bookmark set in the browser. I hope that the virtual images continue served you well.

Additional RSS Feeds have been added for "New Releases", and "Free Virtual Images" pages. The links are available on the pages.

Recent Virtual Disk Images released Vixta 9.0.0 neon4 VDI, Klikit 0.1-9RC2 VDI, PCLinuxOS 2007 VDI, PC/OS 2008 v2 VDI and Ubuntulite 0.8.

Feedback and Comment welcome.
