From: Vahis on 4 Apr 2010 02:24 I've run VMware Server 1.x for quite some time with no issues during several versions of openSUSE as host. I'm trying Sun VirtualBox now, it's quite good I must say. I tried the ose version briefly but there was a USB issue, which was easy enough to overcome by switching to Sun's version. I found instructions to do it in the ose but that can wait for now. But, there's one problem or lack of knowledge on my side: With VMware I am able to log out from the host machine and the virtual machines keep running. In VBox this does not seem to work. If I log out the VBox wants to shutdown or hibernate or what not the virtual things. Is there a way I can leave them running while being logged out from the host?

There are about 7 or 8 to choose from and you can mix and match. -- Later, Darrell

Those "mix and match" buttons you speak about are settings "on" or "off" in different runlevels.
