  Here follows the full explanation of setting up a full virtual machine Debian Edu test with main and thin client server, also running diskless workstation and a thin client.

- You need VirtualBox 4.3 or newer. To install VirtualBox on Ubuntu, see this page http://tecadmin.net/install-oracle-virtualbox-on-ubuntu/

  === Setting up VirtualBox network ===
  '''Warning''': if the host machine (the one you install VirtualBox on) is on the 10.0.0.0 network (it has an IP address in the 10.0.x.x range) you might get network trouble if you use this guide.
  
- DebianEdu needs a 10.0.0.0/8 network as default, see the [[http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze/Architecture#The_default_network_setup|DebianEdu default network setup]] page. The main server provides it's own DHCP server, so DHCP needs to be turned off in VirtualBox. To set up a suitable network via the command line:

  === Set up the main server ===
- In VirtualBox GUI, create a new virtual machine for the main server. Recommended values are 1 GB memory, 60 GiB hard drive (you might due with 40 GiB at a minimum, but having 60 GiB are more safe). Select New, give the machine a name. For this example choose "server1" as a name.

+ 
- Select "Linux" for type, and "Debian (64 bit)" for version. Click next, select or input 1024 MB for memory size, click next, select "create a virtual hard drive now", click next, select VDI for Hard drive file type, click next, select "dynamically allocated", click next, give it a name (the default suggestion is usually ok), and set the size to 60 GiB, click create.

  In the "installer boot menu" when starting up the installation, select 64 bit (graphical) install. Follow the install guide for main server + thin client server.   
  
- Important. Before installing the main server1, the first Adapter 1 network card has to be sett to NAT and nothing else. This because it is a workstation when installing the server. After installation, the Adapter 1 are changed from "NAT" to "NAT Network".

- After the server are installed, click Settings on the server1 virtual machine configuration, click Network, on Adapter 1, and change "NAT" to "NAT Network". The Name of the network on Adapter one is "skolelinux", if it isn't selected already. click ok.

  From the command line you can do it with
  {{{
- $ VBoxManage modifyvm server1 --nic1 natnetwork
+ $ VBoxManage modifyvm tjener --nic1 natnetwork

  === Set up a diskless workstation ===
+ 
- In VirtualBox GUI, create a new machine for a diskless workstation. Recommended values are 1024 MB RAM, 512 MB RAM is minimum. Give it a name (for example "ws1"), 1024 MB RAM and no hard drive. After creation, change settings. On System, allow the machine to boot from network in the Boot Order list. Under Network, Adapter 1, select  "NAT Network" and the correct network ("skolelinux" in this example).

  Interestingly, you can choose to run a diskless workstation or a thin client on the skolelinux 10.0.0.0/8 net. Please consult the boot menu. Select the diskless workstation, and the machine should boot. 
  
  === Adding thin client network ===

  === Set up a thin client ===
- In VirtualBox GUI, create a new machine for a thin client. The most easy way is to clone the ws1 image, and change the "NAT Network" to "thinclient". Recommended values for memory is 1024 MB RAM, 512 MB RAM is minimum. Give it a name (for example "tk1"), 1024 MB RAM and no hard drive. After creation, change settings. On System, allow the machine to boot from network in the Boot Order list. Under Network, Adapter 1, select  "NAT Network" and the correct network ("thinclient" in this example). You might change the MAC address by pressing the two arrow circle under the Advance menu. Given that the main and thin client server already runs in a virtual machine, just start the wk1 virtual machine, and it should start. Easy peacy.
