Hi Fernando,
I'm used to not trust proprietary software vendor repos and packages. Usually they do
not declare dependecies correctly and require several manual steps so the software
installed from them works properly. So if someone had the trouble of creating a new repo
for something the vendor already has packages I wonder if there's something wrong with
the vendor packages or if the commnity repo has something else that will make my life
easier.
Thanks for the link.
The community (OSE) version has fewer features such as the ability
to access USB etc. Since one of the reasons I run windows in a VM is to
program USB devices such as TV remotes, GPS updates etc I have found the
oracle version to be preferable and (for older 3.x versions anyway)
worked better than the OSE.
In addition, I have found the oracle version generally works far better
than qemu/kvm .. ymmv of course.
