Hi Chris, Mcgrath and Experts
Please note, VirtualBox issue listed as 11 th in the issue (Vol 88-Issue 31)
seems to be requiring due focus because of Smolt profile number comparison.
There are definite indications that this user base will increase.
I wish to suggest that we need a team to focus on Virtualization with F15
as guest. This will again look at various hosts like 32bit Mac X,64 bit Mac
X,Win 64,Win 32,servers and clients. The priority of focus can be driven by
the Smolt profile numbers. This task would be starting point to be driven
from this point towards a full fledged support. I can volunteer for few as i
also contribute to and on the lists on VirtualBox dev/test/bugs team.
I leave it to your views and suggestions,experts.
Thanks and regards
Richard Vijay
