That's not entirely true. Try to install the extension pack, it should work with the Debian build as well. In fact, there is no real "OSE" version anymore, only the normal source code (which is freely available under GPLv2 from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) and the extension pack. The Linux packages at www.virtualbox.org use in fact the same sources like the packages from the Debian maintainers. Back to your question: If you enable USB 2.0 (USB 1.1 is part of the public sources) then you will get a message that you should install the extension pack. After doing so, you can use that features. Therefore it is correct to keep the USB / RDP VM settings. Kind regards, Frank -- ORACLE Deutschland B.V. & Co. KG Dr.-Ing.
