All,
I'm not great deciphering the various virtualbox 7.0.20 rpm names in the various OSS or community repositories to tell if the rpm is Oracle branded non-OSE with USB support.
There is no separate version any more. Hasn't been for about a decade or more. The whole of VirtualBox is open source and it's in the repos of most distros. It supports USB1 and USB2. Now, the proprietary bits are in the VirtualBox Extension Pack. That is freeware but must be licensed for commercial use so don't install it on a work machine! Do not confuse the VBox Extension Pack with the VBox Guest Additions. Those are also FOSS, are also in the repos of many distros, and can be installed from a freely-downloadable ISO included with VBox. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lproven@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lproven@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 277612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053
