Now the standard version is OSE. Many components were open-sourced with v4.0: (those were PUEL with v3.x) -USB v1.1 -User Manual source code -Installer sources (windows scripts + Linux RPM SPECs + ...) -Shared Folder for Windows guests... The VBox v4.x you download now -- is OSE. All PUEL components are now in extpack. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list VBox-users-community@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community
