Whenever possible, I avoid commercial SW; however, IMHO, Virtualbox (VB) is not an alternative. VB has a similar initial appearance, but at least as of 1 year ago, it was extraordinarily painful to use. The virtual disks had a crypto assignment which made copying them and moving from one VM to another virtually impossible. I recall cloning simply did not work and snapshots were not useful the way they are under VM. I simply filed VB under "forget the details & never touch this again". For the record, I was hosting under gentoo. |
