Here's my opinion. We, as a group, should only focus on VMware. If
individuals want to go and use other virtualization engines, that's
fine. The reason is simple.
VMware is by far the leader. It is the only virtualization engine for

Hi all,
I have been using consistently VBox Puel (site download - not
opensource) and it has served me nicely under ubuntu 8.10, 9.04 and now
under 9.10. In amateur radio I use it to control via USB my Kenwood HF
rigs with no issues at all and generically I do PC suites for phones and
