Did you choose the word complications because in watchmaking it

All,
Does anyone know the use restrictions for the Glenda image or the

Ideas?

that shouldn't be happening unless you're doing a lot of disk/network

there are relatively easy things we could do to make virtual box better,
but as it doesn't run well on linux, it's hard to find the motivation.
