Are there any opinions on which Linux disribution would provide the best performing host for VirtualBox?
Thanks,

Re: Which Linux Host -best performance
It doesn't matter, they will all perform equally well. Though it does matter how many resources you have left depending on the type of installation. E.g. a headless or non-GUI installation obviously gives you more RAM to provide because the Host doesn't use it. But it makes it harder to manage and use VMs if you don't have a GUI.
Anyway, you're just as good if you install Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuSE, Arch or any other distro.
