For this example, you’ll be installing Ubuntu. #*Type any name in the Name field (such as Ubuntu or Linux). For “Operating System,” choose “Linux.” The version will automatically default to “Ubuntu.” Click “Next” when you’re done.

4. Select the amount of memory your VM will use and click “Next.” When you chose your operating system in the previous step, VirtualBox automatically recommends the proper amount of memory to use. If you feel this amount isn’t correct, you can move the slider or type a new amount in the box. Click “Next” when you’re done 

5. Click “Next” to create a new virtual hard disk, then click “Next” again. This opens a second wizard to create a new virtual hard disk. 

6. Select either "Fixed-Size Storage" or "Dynamically Expanding Storage" depending upon your needs. A fixed size storage is going to be the size of the virtual hard disk on the host OS (e.g.: a virtual disk 8 GB will be 8 GB on the host OS's hard disk). A dynamically expanding storage will be only the size of Ubuntu on your hard disk, but will grow in size as files are added to it until it reaches its limit (e.g.: virtual disk is created and has a 1 megabyte file on it. The size of the virtual disk is 1 megabyte. Then, another 1 megabyte file is added. The size of the virtual disk is 2 megabytes. This goes on until it reaches the specified size of the disk). 

7. Click “Next” to accept the default name and size of the virtual hard disk. Again, VirtualBox recommends the proper size of your virtual hard disk. If you feel this amount isn’t correct, you can move the slider or type a new amount in the box. Click “Next” when you’re done
