Specifically, I use Windows as my host and Linux as my guest, since I have limited control over the configuration of my work machine. I assume you are wondering how to install VirtualBox 4.3.0 on Ubuntu/Lubuntu 13.10 to use that as the host. As far as I can tell, the version of VirtualBox currently in the "saucy salamander" packages is 4.2.16: http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/virtualbox It is possible to download a .deb package of v4.3.0 directly from Oracle, though: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
