Hi Neil, I guess that you're correct that it's been crippled a bit but according to this page it doesn't seem that bad to me: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions I don't personally need the USB stuff inside of VB so for me it might be enough. Anyway, if there's no special reason that I cannot build the OSE version on Gentoo AMD64 stable then I might go ahead and do it just to see what happens. Thanks, Mark
