I am very happy with this decision. Because I would like to have VDE available in VBox GUI. Looking forward to test it in BETA2. Portability of VDE: 1. I think it would be useful on other host systems too... 2. Port for Windows looks problematic due to VDE's dependency on UNIX domain sockets. Anyway having a similar technology on Windows hosts would be of value for me. 3. Port for Solaris looks possible. No one in the Solaris or VDE community tried it? -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
