openSUSE and Debian both have VirtualBox in their FLOSS repos (though it
looks like Debian has removed a few files). Is there a particular reason
Fedora does not, or is it just that it hasn't been packaged? I've
Googled this a few times but found no explanation.
Here is my openSUSE-Education 1.3.1 with VirtualBox:
Virtualbox 4.2.18_OSE r88780 with installed extensions (Oracle) 4.2.18-88780 in openSUSE
13.1
1024 / 2 CPU / bridged networking
works with f21(rawhide) boot.iso and workstation-live-x86_64
