<title>Installing Virtualization Software</title>
<para>As described above, Evergreen is installed on top of an emulated Linux environment. The Linux environment, in turn, is installed on top of a software application such as <application>"VirtualBox"</application>, <application>"VMware"</application> or <application>"VirtualPC"</application> which must first be installed on the <systemitem class="osname">Windows</systemitem> system. This section contains step-by-step examples of installing each of the popular virtualization applications on a <systemitem class="osname">Windows</systemitem> host system. Following this section are further descriptions of installing Linux systems on the virtualization software, then of installing and running Evergreen within those Linux systems.</para>

<para>Of course, there are limitations to how well a virtualized <systemitem class="osname">Ubuntu</systemitem> system emulates a real one. The <application>"VirtualBox"</application> application itself consumes memory, and it contributes to the CPU load on the <systemitem class="osname">Windows</systemitem> host system. The emulated <systemitem class="osname">Ubuntu</systemitem> system will have less available memory and will execute more slowly than if it were a standalone system, therefore Evergreen itself will inherit some limitations from this overall environment.</para>
