The Atom N270 doesn't support virtualization/VT-x.

Therefore, you can't run VMs on your machine.

However, you do not need virtualization to install Ubuntu. Follow the instructions here: How do I install Ubuntu?

  • thanks 4 the rapid response pat. i know the notebook w/ the atom n270 doesn't support virtualization. this shouldn't rule out running 16.04 though. i'm interested in running it native, not under any sort of hypervisor. any suggestions? -tnx. – arthur sherman avraham shir-el Dec 04 '16 at 20:04
  • @arthurshermanavrahamshir-el Haha, the forum you visited was trying to tell you how to install Ubuntu in VirtualBox. If you want to install it natively see http://askubuntu.com/questions/6328/how-do-i-install-ubuntu. You don't need virtualization for installing Ubuntu natively. If this answer helped mark it as correct :) – negusp Dec 04 '16 at 20:31
