Actually I'm now running a 64bit gentoo vmdk on virtualbox 3. As long as you have 64bit hardware with vmx cpu flags virtualbox is good to go.

Your only issue with that is that if your guest is 64 bit linux. Currently the virtualbox doesnt support a 64 bit guest. No need for conversion for 32 bit guest. Tried this one in virtualbox 2.0.4 and my guest is from vmware server 1.0.5. I saw this on the web, I believe its good to read it - http://www.ende-der-vernunft.org/2008/03/22/howto-convert-from-vmware-to-virtualbox/. HTH On Sat, Jul 11, 2009 at 10:44 AM, Zak B.
