Enable 64-bit Version Option in VirtualBox If these conditions are not met, this guide will not ever work for you. Besides, the host operating system must be a 64-bit version. This guide assumes that your computer has a 64-bit processor or CPU and the CPU supports virtualization or is capable of emulating a 64-bit processor.

This guide will show you how to enable hardware virtualization in your computer to enable 64-bit version support in VirtualBox. The installation of the OS and SSH server (which was an optional install in the Debian installer) took most of that time, after the system was up I logged in, typed 'apt-get install apache2 cacti' pressed enter and less than five minutes later I have An apache webserver, PHP, MySQl, and a php application all installed an operational.Are you trying to install a 64-bit operating system in VirtualBox and you can’t seem to see the 64-bit version option in the drop-down list as shown in the following screenshot? The solution to this problem is enabling hardware virtualization. I set up a Command line only Linux Virtual Machine with SSH, Apache, PHP, MySQL and CACTI in a bout a half hour yesterday. They have a repository of software (you can add other repositories too) You open up the package manager application in a GUI (or can use the command line package manager) and you select the software you want it downloads and installs it, along with any additional software or things that may have been needed to run the application and it also default configures it for you. In many ways Linux is easier, basically think of it like the Appple App store or Google Play store, or even the Microsoft store.

See my second post about Linux software installs above this. Any download links for a linux OS for dummies?
