1.4. Supported host operating systems
Currently, VirtualBox runs on the following host operating systems:
Windows hosts:
Windows XP, all service packs (32-bit)
Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)
Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit[1]).
Windows Server 2008 (32-bit and 64-bit)
Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)
Windows 8 (32-bit and 64-bit)
Windows Server 2012 (64-bit)
Mac OS X hosts:[2]
10.6 (Snow Leopard, 32-bit and 64-bit)
10.7 (Lion, 32-bit and 64-bit)
10.8 (Mountain Lion, 64-bit)
10.9 (Mavericks, 64-bit)
Intel hardware is required; please see Chapter 14, Known limitations also.
Linux hosts (32-bit and 64-bit[3]). Among others, this includes:
10.04 ("Lucid Lynx"), 10.10 ("Maverick Meerkat), 11.04 ("Natty Narwhal"), 11.10 ("Oneiric Oncelot"), 12.04 ("Precise Pangolin"), 12.10 ("Quantal Quetzal"), 13.04 ("Raring Ringtail"), 13.10 ("Saucy Salamander")
Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 ("squeeze") and 7.0 ("wheezy")
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5, Oracle Linux 6
Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6
Fedora Core 6 to 19
Gentoo Linux
openSUSE 11.0, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 12.1, 12.2
Mandriva 2010 and 2011
It should be possible to use VirtualBox on most systems based on Linux kernel 2.6 or 3.x using either the VirtualBox installer or by doing a manual installation; see Section 2.3, “Installing on Linux hosts”. However, the formally tested and supported Linux distributions are those for which we offer a dedicated package.
Note that starting with VirtualBox 2.1, Linux 2.4-based host operating systems are no longer supported.
Solaris hosts (64-bit only) are supported with the restrictions listed in Chapter 14, Known limitations:
Solaris 11 including Solaris 11 Express
Solaris 10 (u8 and higher)
Note that the above list is informal. Oracle support for customers who have a support contract is limited to a subset of the listed host operating systems. Also, any feature which is marked as experimental is not supported. Feedback and suggestions about such features are welcome.

Guest Additions[/i][2] with the operating system.-Tuxman (March 09, 2014, 01:47 PM)
RTFM...
Your quote is related to using PC-BSD as a guest system.
OpenBSD works as a host (or doesn't, depending on who you ask). - PC-BSD is not exactly "light on resources".-Tuxman (March 09, 2014, 01:36 PM)
Not having read the rest of the thread:
OpenBSD.-Tuxman (March 09, 2014, 10:13 AM)
PC-BSD® 10.0 automatically installs the VirtualBox[1] open source virtualization program and the VirtualBox Guest Additions[2] with the operating system. The guest additions add mouse pointer integration, shared folders between the host and guest, better video support, and a shared clipboard.
Seemed to work here.-ewemoa (March 09, 2014, 06:01 AM)
First, I do acknowledge security risks are introduced with installing old(er) software. However, in the WinAmp v1.91 case, there aren't that many attack vectors as it hardly does anything else than playing MP3's. What is not there...cannot be attacked.

What are you planning to do with that information? Sell it? Publish it?-Ath (March 08, 2014, 11:39 AM)I want it for personal use-kalos (March 08, 2014, 11:52 AM)
Fair enough... but why do I keep getting the nagging feeling some of these requests are destined for use in somebody's product, website, or consulting engagement?-40hz (March 08, 2014, 01:01 PM)
it's just my professional and methodical approach I have for everything-kalos (March 08, 2014, 01:11 PM)
If "check for news and product updates" is enabled it "phones home" to check that once a week (or whatever your setting says).
You can disable it if you want to.-myarmor (March 08, 2014, 10:03 AM)
Right. I don't call that "phoning home". I call that "checking for news and product updates". Especially since you can easily disable it.-wraith808 (March 08, 2014, 11:04 AM)

I know you said "like Aptik", but just to confirm, Aptik doesn't work with Debian, right?-ewemoa (March 08, 2014, 08:46 AM)
I've made a number of attempts to get Xen working over the years, but without much success...never quite make it far enough. Have you had good experiences with it?-ewemoa (March 08, 2014, 07:35 AM)
I'm trying to avoid too many steps during set up (cf. getting Arch and/or Gentoo installed - worth it a few times, but not great if I want to recreate a similar set up from scratch) as well as having VirtualBox or comparable stop working somewhere down the line because of an upgrade...-ewemoa (March 08, 2014, 07:35 AM)

@panzer: ^^ Thanks! Another great short video for me to enjoy with my son Brian (age 3½).
EDIT 2014-03-07 1205hrs (NZT): Looks like I downloaded it just in time. The link now says:"Mr Hublot Oscar Aw..." This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by MrHUBLOTofficial.-IainB (March 06, 2014, 04:32 PM)
So your estimation of the usefulness is based on your opinion- which is quite valid for you, but not valid for everyone else. Which is exactly what I say at the end of the iteration of those features, i.e. each person should evaluate the benefits rather than just the feature list. Which is also the reason that I am still in the evaluation mode, rather than just being a 'fanboy' and purchasing.-wraith808 (March 06, 2014, 04:28 PM)
