Inderstandably, VB Guest Additions was removed from the Trisquel repos, as Trisquel cannot recommend unfree software, even if it's for inside a VM.

I installed the guest additions manually. I guess this is no worse, ethically, than installing Windows (or any other unfree software) in a virtual machine.

So I can now resize my VBox window nicely. Still struggling with guest machine USB recognition, however. Not sure whether this is due to installing Guest Additions manually, or if it's a more generic problem.

I use a program called Macrex for my job. It runs on Windows. Some alternative software exists, but none of it runs in GNU/Linux. I'm not confident with WINE, and don't think I'd trust it for mission-critical stuff anyway. At the moment I'm dual-booting, but I'd prefer to keep Windows confined to a VM.
