Hi Matthias, Thanks for your advice.
I'm prepared to build VBox on the same PC which is now running KVM and Fedora 12 64bit as host. Because Fedora 12 freezes frequently while browsing Internet. Adding to it I can't make libvirt to allow VM to work on sound. Therefore I'll wipe out the PC and build VBox on it running Debian 5.0.4 64bit as host. > Still, you might encounter difficulties with different hw-abstraction layers > (aka different > drivers!) between kvm and vbox Please explain in more detail. TIA B.R.
