Go look at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds and, from there, browse what builds are still available. I'm trying to set up on MEPIS 6.5.1 which is based on Dapper, and I can tell you that virtualbox 2.2.4 is the last build shown which shows compatibility with Dapper, in case that matters to you. I can tell you that apt-get installed those two libraries just fine. I can't, however, tell you as yet whether it will install and run without roadblock dependencies, because right now my wget download of that 22Meg .deb keeps stalling out at their end. Two hints from 'man wget' for using wget in such an annoying situation: the -c option-switch means "continue from what I've got already instead of starting over", and the option "-T 90" means "the timeout before wget gets tired of waiting and sends another wakeup call is now 90 seconds, not 15 minutes". Good luck; I think we're both going to need it. @Javier: 1.5.4 is no longer available onsite, and the URL structure has changed.

Two hints from ‘man wget’ for using wget in such an annoying situation: the -c option-switch means “continue from what I’ve got already instead of starting over”, and the option “-T 90″ means “the timeout before wget gets tired of waiting and sends another wakeup call is now 90 seconds, not 15 minutes”. Good luck; I think we’re both going to need it.

You have to register to VMware to get to download the application (might be found somewhere on the internet but be careful), but it makes it really easy to convert your current running machine to a virtual machine. You can change what partitions you want to be included, how much memory to allocate etc. For anyone struggling to get existing Windows to run in virtual machine (in whatever that runs Sun Virtualbox), I’d recommend a free tool named VMware vCentre converter.

Seems to work pretty well. There are some apps I need on a daily basis that only work on Windows. Is my box vulnerable since I have Windows running on it or is the fact that the main OS is Linux and Windows is running on the VM mean that I have the natural protection that Linux provides ok?
