Hi,

1) Is there a way for me to install VirtualBox as a non root user? I compiled it from the sources but cannot find a way to load the kernel modules it requires? Is there anyway to make it run?

2) Is there any other virtualization software you have ever installed on linux successfully as a non root user, VMWare, Parallels, etc.?

The aim is to run Windows as a virtual machine with more than 16GB RAM.

Bests, Cetin
