That isn't the issue, I have both. VMWare Server is on my server machine (headless, much faster and better network connection), I'm not aware of how to run Virtualbox under such a system yet (I was actually planning to move to kvm soon). Regardless VMWare Player is common and I was pointing out the issue in case people thought it important.
The images I build under VMWare Server work fine on Virtualbox, I've tested that. And actually the reason why I was doing most of the builds was that my server was quite fast 2-4 hours per build.
