Heh "visualization"... "virtualization" obviously.

Yes, VB NAT has not had a GUI to administer reverse network access, it
(port forwarding) can be done with commandline, instructions are in the
PDF manual. Might be better to use Host Interface Networking until a
decent GUI is done, if security is not a huge issue.

I run Gentoo for all my Linux needs. Portage is a very strong system and
package mgmt implementation, IMHO.
