Bug#409711: RFP: VirtualBox -- a GPL virtual machine software with full virtualization support



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name : VirtualBox
Version : 1.3.2
Upstream Author : InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH <info@innotek.de>
* URL : http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
* License : GPL version 2
Description : This is a virtual machine envinronment, similar to VMware, with full virtualization

(Include the long description here.)
VirtualBox OSE (Open Source Edition) is a virtual machine with speed comparable with VMware, and supports full virtualization even on older processors without VT-x support. Unlike QEMU's proprietary kqemu, VirtualBox has open-source virtualization. It also has a nice Qt interface for managing the virtual machines. This seems to be the only DFSG-free virtualization package that works on processors without VT, unlike LKVM (but it also works on processors with VT).
