To install virtualbox is fairly easy. Just follow the instructions below:
1. Open /etc/apt/sources.list and add this line deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian intrepid non-free
2. Import sun public-key and register it using apt-key (wget is for downloading, apt-key is for registering the key to your machine)
$ wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O - | sudo apt-key add -
OK
3. Update your system's package index file
$ sudo apt-get update
4. Install virtualbox 2.2
$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox-2.2
Done, that's all :)

Hi Anonymous,
I've tested the command once more, and it worked. This is copied form my screen:
pingu@joan-desktop:~$ wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O - |sudo apt-key add -
OK
download the oralce_vbox.asc with firefox then apt-key add oralce_vbox.asc
