Hi, Fernando: Thank you for the very kind review of my posts. Regretably, I can't live up to that standard this time around, because I'm very much a VirtualBox newbie myself, and unlikely to seriously roll up my sleeves for a couple more months with the product. To date my experience with vms has been some text consoles running another release of Linux in a kvm. On the gui side it's all been VMware on a Mac. I'm sufficiently disappointed with my Mac experience to want to move on from that environment. I do need to host a foreign OS, namely Windows 10, and VirtualBox seems the correct way to go about that on Linux when one is constrained by accessibility concerns. However, my experience to date with VirtualBox is very limited. I'm very much the student in this particular computer lab. So, I'm also eager to see what others say on the topic here.
