Tech Article: Evaluating Oracle Linux from Inside Oracle VM VirtualBoxWhat's really cool about evaluating Oracle Linux from inside VirtualBox is that you can assign each virtual image a unique
IP address, and have it communicate with the outside world as if it were its own physical machine on the network. Yuli describes
how to do this, and also how to install guest additions to, for instance, share files between the guest and host systems.
