If you have a recent laptop, its likely to have hardware virtualization support and you just need to enable it in the BIOS.

Run

grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo

for Intel

grep svm /proc/cpuinfo

for amd.

To see if the processor supports hardware virtualization. If it supports hardware virtualization KVM would be faster I think.

You can apt-get virt-manager and its as easy as virtualbox.

For best experience you need to enable hardware visualization support in BIOS.

Thank you. But please correct me if I am wrong, I think that is required for kvm and vmware only. My machine doesn't support kvm and that is why I thought of going for Virtualbox.And virtualbox is easy to install too. It is just like any other application. Just do apt-get install. At least that is what I gather from websites.

Best,
Sasi
