How well does VirtualBox integerate the clipboard between the host and guest environments? I think of all the functions of the VMware Tools, clipboard integration is what I use most. Second would probably be file sharing (i.e., the guest, at least Windows, can see select portions of the host file system as Windows / CIFS shares). And, of course, I make ubiquitous use of the virtualized network connections. I do like knowing that my Windows is behind a NAT, at least.

File sharing is not a problem. Networking in general isn't as mature as VMware; not as easy to setup, not as many options, NAT works.
I have to go back and double check the clipboard later this evening.
More later...
The latest version 1.40 of VirtualBox has clipboard support; host->guest only, guest->host only or bi-directional.
NAT works out of the box.
And why, exactly, should I love VM Ware? I've tried three times to install 10.2 in a VMware virtual box under WinXP. Each time everything has worked fine UNTIL vmware-tools is installed and the vmware-config-tools.pl script is executed. On every boot after that, initialization proceeds to the point that the vmware interface code starts to run, and the virtual machine closes with extreme prejudice. BTW, this is with VMware Server 1.0.3. I guess you get what you pay for. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
