DoubleKiller_Duplicate_Files_FinderThere is no denying that your computer’s performance can be affected by the number and size of files or, inversely, free space on your hard drive. Surprisingly, though the size of files does factor into the equation, the number of files, no matter how small, has a significant impact on your system’s performance. Why?

To use a silly analogy, imagine a garage or warehouse with empty shelves and a clear floor. If I place a single item anywhere in that building and ask you to  find it, it shouldn’t take you too long. Taking the analogy a bit further, if I fill the shelves with items but carefully organize them, though your search may take a bit longer, it should still be fairly expedient. Finally,  if I were to haphazardly fill the shelves AND heap things all over the floor, there is a chance you may never find a particular item.

imageIf you’re anything like me, your computer Desktop is likely a complete and utter mess of icons, files, folders and icons. What can I say? Working on several projects simultaneously and downloading new software daily for review, the Desktop seems a logical place to store things temporarily for quick and easy access.  On the other hand, it doesn’t take long before it grows difficult to distinguish program shortcuts from installation files and documents.

imageVirtualBox is arguably the best Open Source full featured virtualization software for x86 hardware currently available. It can be installed on Windows, OS X, Linux and Solaris platforms and allows you to install and run any of these as a virtual machine from within your current operating system.

For example, if you are running Windows Vista and would like to install the latest Ubuntu Linux version for testing purposes or for full time use without having to resort to a second computer or dual/multi boot scenario, VirtualBox is the solution you’ve been looking for.
