Hello Linux Geeksters. Along with VMWare, VirtualBox is the most popular virtualization software, available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. The latest version available is VirtualBox 4.3.10, which has been released a while ago. For information about this release, see the official changelog.
In this article I will show you how to install VirtualBox 4.3.10 on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Elementary OS 0.3 Isis and Pinguy OS 14.04.
Because it is available via the Oracle repository, installing Virtualbox on Ubuntu and derivated systems is easy. All you have to do is add the ppa to your system, download and import the repo’s key, update the local repository index and install the virtualbox-4.3 package.

$ wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.3
