-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It depends on what guest you want to virtualize on what host. For virtualizing a GNU/Linux guest on a GNU/Linux host, I personally use user-mode Linux, though there are/were a few folks with screenreaders (using orca on GNU/Linux) on the virtualbox-users list, who do the same under virtualbox. I could get into running windows guests on windows hosts, for which I use a couple of solutions (virtualbox being one of them), depending on which version of windows I want to virtualize, but that's not a topic for this list. As for your observation regarding virtualbox, though it is handy to get to use the GUI (NVDA does very well here on a windows host), it is still possible to make full use of virtualbox via the command line, once you take the time to learn the various options that need to be passed to the various virtualbox programs, primarily VBoxManage.
