Install the proprietary Closed source version of Virtualbox on Debian Lenny
I like the closed source version of virtualbox. I just do. This is how to install it quickly and simply:
add this to sources.list
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lenny non-free
run this to get the public key and install it:
wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
then just install it
aptitude install virtualbox-2.1
this will automatically create the group “vboxusers” and add the user who installed it to the group. If you need to add others:
sudo adduser `[username]` vboxusers
