Name        : RemoteBox
Product     : Fedora 20
Version     : 1.8
Release     : 1.fc20
URL         : http://remotebox.knobgoblin.org.uk/
Summary     : Open Source VirtualBox Client with Remote Management
Description :
VirtualBox is traditionally considered to be a virtualization solution aimed
at the desktop as opposed to other solutions such as KVM, Xen and VMWare ESX
which are considered more server oriented solutions. While it is certainly
possible to install VirtualBox on a server, it offers few remote management
features beyond using the vboxmanage command line. RemoteBox aims to fill
this gap by providing a graphical VirtualBox client which is able to
communicate with and manage a VirtualBox server installation.

RemoteBox achieves this by using the vboxwebsrv feature of VirtualBox that
allows its API to be accessed using a protocol called SOAP, even across a
network. RemoteBox is very similar in look and feel to the native VirtualBox
interface and allows you to perform most of the same tasks, including
accessing the display of guests – completely remotely.

Update Information:

1.8 (16 May 2014)
-----------------

- Added option to automatically start chosen guests when the host system boots. This requires some server side configuration before it can be used. Consult the RemoteBox manual for more information.
- Added option to set the start delay on an autostarting guest so that guests can be started up in a specific sequence if required.
- Added option to set the shutdown type on a guest when the host is shutdown.
- Added VirtualBox preference to set the location of the autostart database.
- Snapshot Tree: Moved 'current state' underneath the most recent snapshot in the tree.
- Added state icons to the snapshot list, which indicate if a snapshot is an online or offline snapshot.
- Optimized list handling in several places which should improve performance and remember selections on list refreshes where practical.
- Added additional information when a storage medium is selected in the VMM.
- Added additional guest keyboard shortcuts, Ctrl-Alt-(F4, F5, F6, F8, F9, F10, F11).
- Added ability to add, remove and edit NAT Networks via the VirtualBox preferences menu item. Port forwarding rules must be configured elsewhere for the moment.
- Added option to set the network attachment type in the guest settings to 'NAT Network'. These are named NAT networks which are subtly different to just 'NAT'.
- Added option to set the snapshot folder location for a guest
- Added OS icons for various editions of MacOS X.
- Added support for guest groups. Groups are shown in a tree-fashion which is somewhat visually different to VirtualBox. Setting guest groups is fairly rudimentary at the moment requiring you to enter the group in the form of '/group/subgroup'.
- Added 'Expand All Groups' and 'Collapse All Groups' buttons. The last used button is remembered for subsequent refreshes of the guest list.
- Fixed some Windows guest icons.
- Fixed a bug when creating Host-Only networks. An associated virtual DHCP server wasn't getting created which would cause invalid object references and ultimately made the Host-Only network feature useless.
- Fixed a bug when entering folders in the remote file chooser that denied permission but the location was still updated. Now also warns that you don't have permission to enter that folder
- Fixed a bug where a medium would be masked out in lists if another medium with the same name existed.
- Fixed a bug where the Video Memory could get erroneously pegged to 1MB on the first opening on the settings dialog.
- Inaccessible guests are now filtered from the list of guests and a warning issued in the message log. RemoteBox has never handled inaccessible guests well and for the most part the cause is generally the user manipulating guests without VirtualBox's knowledge. 
- Various GUI tweaks.
