Has anyone used Virtualbox? What's it like?
hi
I use VB extensively and usually have at least one client open
being an Ubuntu instance on a Fedora-23 system.
It does have requirement to reinstall VB after a kernel upgrade, but on
Fedora that is one command "dnf reinstall Virt...rpm" so it is not an
impediment. I do use the rpms from the VirtualBox site and not those
built by third parties "RPMFusion" which automates even this one extra
command.
Not sure about this reinstalling of VB - I have dkms installed, and the
new kernel modules are built automatically as part of the kernel
install. That's all I need to do.
It can take a little extra time added to the kernel install, but that
only happens once every three weeks or so :-)
More of a pain is updating VirtualBox itself - you really do need the
extension pack, but it needs to be explicitly installed.
And then you need to boot up each of the VM's to run this update on
their inside.
I've turned off auto-updating for VBox just so it happens at _my_
convenience.
