=== VirtualBox 2.1.0 for Linux ===

'''Note:''' The package architecture has to match the Linux kernel architecture, that is, if you are running a 64-bit kernel, install the appropriate AMD64 package (it does not matter if you have an Intel or an AMD CPU). Mixed installations (e.g. Debian/Lenny ships an AMD64 kernel with 32-bit packages) are not supported. To install !VirtualBox anyway you need to setup a 64-bit chroot environment.

Please choose the appropriate package for your Linux distribution:

  To install !VirtualBox, do
{{{
apt-get install virtualbox-2.1
}}}
  Replace `virtualbox-2.1` by `virtualbox` to install !VirtualBox 1.6.6, or replace it by `virtualbox-2.0` to install !VirtualBox 2.0.6.[[BR]][[BR]]
  '''Note:''' Ubuntu users might want to install the '''`dkms`''' package (not available on Debian) to ensure that the !VirtualBox host kernel modules (''vboxdrv'' and ''vboxnetflt'') are properly updated if the linux kernel version changes during the next `apt-get upgrade`.
