I know, that besides Xen, openSUSE includes other solutions, such as: boxhs/(k)qemu/kvm/virtualbox and some VMware tools, which is good. openSUSE 11 also offers Lguest and virtual bridge configuration via Yast, so things are progressing.
The main point is that those other solutions are absolutely not visible from Yast.
When a user opens Yast, it automatically recommends the user to install Xen and reboot into Xen kernel, and besides that the documentation is very Xen-centric.
I think it is more of a licensing issue than a opensuse issue. Vmware is commercial and the VirtualBox OSS doesn't contain USB, etc. As to promoting one over the other, I think your hands are tied from a legal standpoint.
Besides, going to http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and following directions followed by rpm -Uvh VirtualBox is fairly simple.
I have been using the non-oss version that is now by Sun (and still a free download) and it works great including USB. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
