As I said in a different thread, that version of virtualbox-modules will |
| 9 |
build successfully against kernels *older* than 2.6.29. |

I don't use vmware but I do use virtualbox every day and I love it. |

It's extremely fast even compared to kvm, which I also use on my newest |
| 13 |
machine with hardware virtualization support. |

I suggest you fetch the latest stable binary package from: |
| 16 |
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads |
| 17 |
(choose the "All distributions" package) and run it, which will also |
| 18 |
build and install the vbox kernel modules automatically. |

It's very easy, quick, and simple. It even comes with an uninstall |
| 21 |
script if you don't like it. |
