Thanks for your contributions. VirtualBox is in active development. Perhaps SUN could incorporate some of your improvements eventually. FLOSS is a wonderful development system. You are proof of that.

I like to do things by OpenSSH +scripts and your tools could be useful. Last year, I installed Cygwin on my XP machines so I could manage them transparently from GNU/Linux. It is all good.

Thanks again.

VirtualBox is indeed a wonderfull product and virtualization is a solution for many, many problems. The only caveat I had with VBox, is that it is lacking a management console for remote control of VBox sessions.

For this I’m developing VBoxTool which can do mass operations like save and backup, and provides autostart at boot and autosave at halt. It’s a command line tool only right now (v. 0.3), but as we speak, I’m writing a web front end also.
