Have people had problems with Virtual Box on openSuSE or other Linux?
Or have I simply screwed something up with my particular installation
of Virtual Box?
I originally used Virtual Box with Windows 7 as the host OS and was
able to install and run most any OS I wanted including openSuSE,
Fedora, Ubuntu, several different versions of Knoppix, PC-BSD, and
openSolaris with few problems.
Now that I'm using openSuSE 11.3 as the host OS, I have been able to
install a good working version of Windows XP, but seem to have major
problems installing and running other OSs. I may have been successful
with Ubuntu, and haven't tried openSuSE or Fedora; but have major
problems using Knoppix and PC-BSD.
Are problems like this common with virtual box in Linux?
I'm short on time and almost ready to go back to VM-Ware server which
has served me well over the years.
