I want to download Oracle's VirtualBox on my Lubuntu machine. They don't have any downloads for Lubuntu on their website. So how do I download it on Lubuntu?

That's ubuntu though. I am using Lubuntu 13.10. I wanted to know whether that works on Lubuntu. – Asad Moosvi Apr 04 '14 at 00:02

Lubuntu is Ubuntu with different GUI and different default programs. – Javier Rivera Apr 04 '14 at 06:33

The Oracle version can be installed from their repository replacing distribution with `saucy` as shown here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/41478/how-do-i-install-the-virtualbox-version-from-oracle-to-install-an-extension-pack this will also work on Lubuntu. – Takkat Apr 04 '14 at 09:14

@Fischer is correct, running:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox
Will install VirtualBox on Lubuntu as well. They are actually pulling from the same repositories.
If you ever want to search for a specific package -- and would prefer not to use the Software Center GUI -- you can use:
apt-cache search <what_you_are_looking_for>
