how to create multiple virtualbox machines?
 

Hello there, so I just created a virtualbox machine one account with linux and ubuntu, 10 gb virtual hard disk and 2 GB RAM,

I was wondering how you guys create other accounts? Do you just create new machines w/ new allocated RAM and disk space or something else I'm missing?

Thanks!

Yup! Thats exactly it. Virtualization is fun when you get into it. You can allocate multiple machines with the same stats. You have to remember, you will not be using all 2GB RAM, so you can have 4 machines, using the same 2GB sometimes.

Thanks for your reply, so If I understand correctly If I create 4 VM machines, I can only have 1 stealth account on each machine, with a total of 4 stealth accounts, right?

@citycowboy, you understand it well - to avoid linking.

when you run out of disk space, switch to Docker :)
but as long as you are fine with Virtualbox, don't bother wasting your time on docker, VB is a great piece of software

make sure that you do not allocate too many CPUs for your VM.. could cause trouble when you do something on your host or guest that is CPU intensive

And if you want to be able to have multiple running VM's, VMWare is better than VirtualBox in that instance.
