Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Runnin a microft software in opensuse and ubuntu

I agree with Scott. I have used VirtualBox since the early Innotek days and
the PUEL version from their site is the one to get. Both are free, but the
OSE does not support usb and you will likely need that at some point. The
only difference in use is the source (Virtualbox vs repositories) and you
have to agree to a license with PUEL (personal use and evaluation licence).
