Hi,

Both should work out of the box, I preferred the Virtualisation repo.
Meanwhile I switched to KVM, for work it's mostly VMware (not my
decision).

Hi,

What is the status of VirtualBox on Leap 16.0?

I have been told that on first run, an error message asks for make,
gcc, and kernel-devel headers. Is this normal? Some people are angry
about this.

Should we install the version from oss, or from virtualization repo?

opi:

You have selected package name: virtualbox
  1. repo-oss (16.0) +                         |
7.2.6                     | x86_64
  2. openSUSE:Leap:16.0 -                      |
7.2.6                     | x86_64
  3. Kernel:stable:Backport:KMP ?              |
7.2.10                    | x86_64
  4. Virtualization ?                          |
7.2.10                    | x86_64


Strange that (3), it wasn't there last week.
