-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all.
I just installed virtualbox on debian, since I've only used the windows version until now, and wanted to see what virtualbox is like on a GNU/Linux host. I noticed that vbox depends on some x11 libraries, and this got me wondering. While I understand the need for the x11 libraries, and the qt libraries, since most users would probably be using the GUI, I couldn't help wondering about the need for x11 for those who plan to connect to a guest via ssh or vrdp. I myself have X installed here, so it really doesn't make a difference for me, but I've seen comments on another list from a couple of people who might be interested in trying out virtualbox, but don't want to do so, because they don't have an X environment installed, and they don't plan to install it, just to try out 1 piece of software. I also seem to recall a post on this list a long time ago from someone saying that virtualbox shouldn't have to depend on X, and I believe someone at Innotek back then had responded that the X dependencies would be removed, though my memory could be wrong here. Can someone shed some light on this? Is it in fact possible to install virtualbox without x11 and qt libraries, at least from source using the ose version, if not from a binary package? Thanks.
