Dear sirs,
I would like to propose a patch that adds OS type ALTLinux for
VirtualBox 5.
We need it to make ALTLinux type virtual machines run on VirtualBox that
is used on other platforms.
Is there a true need for technical reasons, or is this only about having
an icon and a guest OS type?
The problem with the contribution (besides the missing PNG files) is the
following: the current VM settings handling is not prepared for adding
guest OS types, which is why we handle them extremely restrictively.
Your change (unintentionally) would only add to the legacy problem.
We want to change the guest OS type definition fundamentally, but
haven't found time to kick off the project.
