That was what I was trying to say. Same for local file system access.

The version I have tried is the binary only, which is the full version..

It has just been updated to v1.3.4 which resolves many bugs and several crashes.

Tried it..

Anybody got the usb part of VirtualBox working on Suse?
Usb/Suse/VM seems to be a bit difficult judging by google..

Other than that it looks (and behave) really nice.

I built an rpm for virtualbox which can be found here
http://repos.opensuse.org/virtualization/
These packages are based on a svn snapshot from 20070203.

How was the speed? Did it require kernel modules? I would imagine so. At
least on SUSE where the kernel is before 2.6.20 with the new
virtualization support.



Speed seems to be good, I didn't really notice any significant slowdown  
compared to a real pc.

No kernel modules required on 2.6.18.
As far as I understand it usb is supported, but not with a deafult usbfs  
config on Suse..?

[opensuse] Excellent news: VirtualBox full virtualization OSS solution for Linux!

2007-02-07 Thread Alexey Eremenko

hi susers!

At last ! The virtualization revolution in Linux happens !

Until now, Linux had no quality virtualization available. At least no
OSS solution existed, that is also user-friendly.

Yesterday the world changed with the introduction of Innotek's
VirtualBox (dual-licensed under GPL and proprietary license).

This solution feels like professional VirtualPC/VMware Workstation:
allows full integration of guest OSes (mouse pointer, etc...), works
with Linux and Windows 2000/XP guests and hosts, and has a nice
Qt3-based GUI. And it's Free !
Unfortunately AMD64 arch and Win9x OS are not supported at all. Not
host and not guest.
This solution is *much* more stable than Qemu/Xen/Bochs whatever the
OSS world has today. (through it's still less stable than MS Virtual
PC 2004)
It is also *very* fast: Windows 2000 Guest installed  run faster than
under VMware/VirtualPC.

So please try it, if you like VMware and emulators in general.
I seriously want this solution to be included in the main repository
for openSUSE 10.3.

This does look really interesting. I am using VMware right now and I
am very happy with it, but I am going to give this a try in the near
future.

Thanks.
