I don't think that Umarzuki was saying to "circumvent the apt
tools". If you go to the site he indicated, you'll see that the
downloads are ".deb" files, so aptitude/apt would be used to
install VirtualBox from virtualbox.org.
What happens on 'apt-get dist-upgrade' #?
What should happen?
You have downloaded to your machine and pointed to the appropriate
location in sources.list. It is up to you to make sure you have the
most current version available and saved to the same place
everytime. Then "dist-upgrade" works just the same as when pointing
to a Debian distro mirror.
Okay, I have to take that back. According to the instructions on the
web site, in your sources.list, you point to their repository. That
way when they upgrade their package it's available to you when you do
the update/upgrade.
