Is it possible to use VirtualBox in gOS? Its an Ubuntu-based distro, but its not listed on the downloads page, and I tried the "all distributions", but it didn't work. another problem I might be having, is that I'm having to download the file on my windows machine, and then transfer it to my laptop via flash drive. Anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone has been able to use Virtual Box in gOS with luck..

"didnt work" is not an exact error message ...

Anyway: try the ubuntu package.

true "didn't work" isn't an error. I guess if you want specifics, after transferring VirtualBox to my laptop and trying to open it, I get a window that I forget what it says, but it gives me the option of "open, open in terminal, display, cancel" or something like that.. When I "open", I get a black MS-DOS looking window and it says something about an admin password, and then "press any key to close"... "open in terminal" obviously the terminal opens, and a couple of lines flashes, and then the terminal closes before I can read anything.. "display" the hard drive tries to read for a second or two, and then nothing else happens... I've been using Linux for a while, but have only recently gotten into the technical aspects of it.
