The last time I played with VB, I had to get it from Oracle. Now I see that there are .debs in the repos. I assume I should be installing from the repos not Oracle.
All this because of systemd and so far, no working BSD flavor live disks.

Thanks. I guess I'll go with the Debian version for Wheezy. If USB support becomes an issue, I can purge and get it from Oracle.fsmithred wrote:I've gone back and forth between the open source and Sun/Oracle versions a few times. If you use the oracle version, it'll work with usb, but it'll also hassle you frequently about newer versions. When you get the newer version, you also have to update the guest additions. Every time I do that, I lose shared clipboard for awhile, and it's annoying. I miss using the debian version, but I'm too lazy to switch again. If you switch, you have to do stuff with all the VMs to get them recognized, and right now, I have a bunch.

I used zenwalk for a year before I switched to debian, and I liked it pretty well. That was my introduction to xfce.
I'm reserving judgment on systemd. See what happens with RHEL7 and jessie in the field. Maybe next year we'll be doing reslacta.

you could simply make the stick a shared-folder.
If it is for something like cameras and printers and such, i don't know (probably the other VB version).
Anyway: i would go for the Debian version, until i run into something i really need. It works well, at least on 32.
