   Didn't solve my Leap problems.

   And SO clunky to deal with !

   VBox all in all IS the better solution - but
   something serious IS wrong at Oracle now and
   likely explains the fragmented/incomplete
   versions both there and in the distros. The
   MX Liberetto disto has a good one, but the
   quality seems to be getting worse fast.

   Dunno if an "OpenVirtualbox" is possible now.

   Oracle ... IF they fix it ... it will probably
   come back as a For-$$$ version with similar
   rip-off schemes to VMware and such.
