* **RAM**: Minimum 2 GB. The Lubuntu system runs well with 1 GB of RAM, and you'll need to keep at least the same amount of memory for some of your applications (such as GeoServer). So a total of 2 GB is recommended for a smooth operation.

* **Spare**: Minimum 20 GB Hard Disk Space. The virtual disk file (vmdk) from :doc:`live.osgeo.org <../download>` unzips to almost 10 GB. You'll also want more space to allow some room to work on the virtual machine. So a total of 20 GB is a good recommendation.

You should install the virtualbox guest additions, this will allow you to use full-screen mode and scaled mode. These can be installed by running the command below in a terminal.

When prompted for a password, you should use the default ``user``.
Some tools configured on OSGeoLive rely of "user" to be in the "users" group so they can write into the data directory. If not set, these tools will fail when run.
