I'd second that idea. In the big picture, vbox works better for me all |
| 31 |
round: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
- I can create VMs in the app just like workstation does but without |
| 34 |
having to pay the workstation license |
| 35 |
- virtualbox-modules practically always just builds fine even on the |
| 36 |
latest greatest kernel. Vmware modules is stuck on 3.10 and doesn't |
| 37 |
build yet as shipped on 3.11 or 3.12 |
| 38 |
- vbox has a headless mode |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
there's more, but overall I just find vbox does what I require on a |
| 41 |
desktop and doesn't make me jump through hoops to do it. |
