Since Oracle announced Solaris 11 no longer support 32bit kernel,I had to the value of my Eees – changing Ubuntu,Meego is not fun and Android OS is not fixable.by chance I would try CentOS 6 on my Eee N10j to study that and trying to use Xen on it.but it doesnt work on my N10j so I would try Virtualbox on it.

before you tring on Linux,you should add yum.repo for it and set up the vboxdrv kernel module.

#wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | rpm –import -
#wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/rhel/virtualbox.repo
#export KERN_DIR=/usr/src/kernels/$uname -r

and caution you should install with your Terminal  to use KERN_DIR settings.

#yum install virtualbox

*Some of blogs recommends PAE module in rpmforge but perhaps it doesnt need./etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup succeed,you can use virtualbox.

I have been tring many OS on Virualbox on pooor power CPU Atom based PC N10j,only old OS Window XP work good on it.other OSes Ubuntu,Solaris,Oi,Windows 7 work verrrry sloooow we cant use that :( ((

Virtualbox on N10J

XP is still useful in our business because  many companies cant move their XP Desktops to Win7 ones.I will use it for connecting my company environment with F5 virtual desktop.

And it is very useful I can use two OSes on my poor Atom-based PC.
