[OmniOS-discuss] virtualbox installed on omnios latest stable

[Jared Morrow]

Have you considered using kvm instead of vbox?  Joyent ported kvm to
illumos and use it for their hosting so I'm willing to be it has been
tested far more than vbox on illumos.  I personally use kvm on both SmartOS
and OmniOS.
