IIRC openSUSE comes with the OSE version. I have used the Oracle version downloaded as an .rpm from virtualbox.org for years, and it has worked very well.
That link is a year old, so keep that in mind. The author prefers VMware, which I've also used. It's excellent if enterprise-class mgmt or development capability is what you need, but for a regular desktop/laptop user IME vbox is much simpler and easier.
---- I wondered about the age, but better safe than sorry. VMware is a bit of a pain but workable, though I wanna set this up for a little bit mroe than desktop/laptop -- it probably won't get too much more use than such...not sure -- only reason I'm trying to set it up is XP's indexing service -- I can index my local server files and that, in turn, can be read by Win7's crippled, can't network indexing service... I'll probably try Christian's suggestion with aqemu/KVM... hopefully I can at least get it up on my local net... after that.. just need it to run indexing and I can use remote desktop to log-into it (I hope)...
