The only bug i've found is having a proxy which requires auth, that appears to be crashing virtual box if i dont close the manager window quick enough. (still present in recent versions), hence i cant do that rego thing on first startup

Virtual box is definitely the best. Virtual PC 2007 could not install openSUSE 11. In Virtual Box it runs great. The only flaw I have found so far is that the "virtual" video card does not accept 24bit but that's minor because the view is fine. :whistle: :thumbup


try the new version - supposed to have added in some 3D acceleration!
