What's a VBox install?
I think he is talking about Virtual box, or a virtual Machine in general.
Yup. I use VirtualBox a lot on my computer. It's a great way to isolate development environments, and my work environment. For example I VPN to the servers at work. If I do that on my host (the main OS), then all network traffic is routed through my employers servers. I don't want that. If I VPN from openSUSE installed in VirtualBox, then my work environment is nicely isolated from the rest of my system (but I can still move files back and forth between the host system and the guest) and all work related network traffic remains in the VM.
That's a really technical explanation. Could you explain in plain English what you do? None of my employees who also read this list understand VPN for example. Here's an example of plain English at this level:. I use SuSe 11.0, nfs and NIS to work on openoffice. We produce leaflets and and scans for t.shirts Oh and flyers to put under windscreen wipers. Could virtual box improve my turnover? Love from L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
