Sorry, unfortunately it looks like your operating system is not supported by
BlueStacks. We'll let you know when it's available!

In the meantime, here is a Chihuahua unraveling inside a roll of bubble wrap.

you could try running android_x86 in a virtual box.

I'm not a gamer, too. I want a Revolut debit card, so I need to get an app for iphone or android. I asked on a forum if there's a way to do it from a laptop and got the answer I can use bluestacks on windows pc.

Is there any virtual box already installed or I have to install one?

If you mean under Applications => System Tools, I don't find there anything seems to me like virtual machine.

VM is a text editor.

You probably need to install the VirtualBox gui. Gor some reason debian splits the files up.

Ok, I installed virtualbox-qt."Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager" is already under Accessories. And now the difficulties start. Too much documentation and no idea what to do.

What I have to do is to create a Windows XP Virtual Machine Live CD, boot there and try to run eeepc.iso?
