*Sigh*

I clearly remember trying to convince you to set up your VBox
environment w/ Linux as the host.  I was hoping my pointed comments
would prompt you to reconsider your architecture.

Yes, we a somewhat heated exchange back in the middle of February on the
topic of VM hosts and related topics.  You might want to reread it.
Instead of *dabbling* in Linux VMs you could *enthusiastically* dive
into Linux as a full-time *user*, keeping VMs to ease the transition and
maintain the hard cases.  Like learning to truly speak a foreign
language, immersion is crucial.

HTH,
