Hi Tony,

Last year I quit trying to create any VM's with VMware Server (F/U/W
VMware Player) - got frustrated with VMware Tools never installing
properly on new Linux distributions.  Sun (now Oracle) VirtualBox,
however, has been a breath of fresh air.  I have no problem installing
the "VboxLinuxAdditions" (VMware Tools equivalent) in most Linux
distributions.

I haven't created any new VirtualBox VM's for distribution with
Xastir, however, since last September.  Would there be any interest in
a new VirtualBox VM with all of Xastir's current goodies?  I have no
desire to go back to VMware.
