I usually use virtualbox to run linux as guest on my windows. I now want to run linux as guest on a linux machine. I'm using virtualization for experimentation on networks. I was told that virtualbox isn't the best to be used in this case. Is there a better vm i can use ?

You can use Virtualbox in Linux and run any linux based OS. I myself use Ubuntu and run Centos in Virtualbox, there isn't any issue.

  • i need to virtualize a newtwork(independent of internet), for e.g i'll run 3 virtual machine one of which will be a router and then send packets from one vm such that the packets reaching the second vm will go through the virtual router
