 +===== Create a VM ===== 
 +Copy an ISO to your home directory: 
 +<code>$scp <dist>.iso <username>@172.26.0.205:~/</code> 
 +  * SSH to VM server: 172.26.0.205 
 +<code>$ ssh <username>@172.26.0.205</code> 
 +  * start the virtualbox application 
 +<code>$ VirtualBox</code> 
 +  * Follow the wizzard to create a VM with the following properties: 
 +      - Base Memory: less than 512 MB 
 +      - Network : NAT 
 +      - Harddisk size: less than 30Gb 
 +==== Port Forwarding ==== 
 + 
 +If your guest OS is using NAT for networking you will need to enable port forwarding.  There is no GUI for this in VirtualBox, but you can use ''VBoxManage setextradata'' to make the required changes.  If you want to SSH to your VM, for example: 
 +<code>$ VBoxManage setextradata Ubuntu "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/HostPort" 2223 
 +$ VBoxManage setextradata Ubuntu "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/GuestPort" 22 
 +$ VBoxManage setextradata Ubuntu "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/Protocol" TCP 
 +Then you can log in to the VM from your own computer using the port you've forwarded above: 
 +<code>$ ssh -p 2223 username@172.26.0.205</code>
