'''VirtualBox''' is partially [[Free Software|libre]], gratis virtualization software.
=VMware = VMDK Support==
While VirtualBox should be able to open <code>.vmdk</code> images, you may need or want to convert the formats on the command line. Also, you can crack open VMware images with <code>dd</code> and loop-mount the partitions individually. See the [[VMware#Cracking_Open_VMDK_Images_with_DD|VMware article]] for instructions.
==Converting a Flat VMDK to a VDI==
To convert a flat VMware image to a virtual desktop image, you just need to run the <code>VBoxManage convertfromraw</code> command.
