Description-en: x86 virtualization solution - non-X11 guest utilities
VirtualBox is a free x86 virtualization solution allowing a wide range
of x86 operating systems such as Windows, DOS, BSD or Linux to run on a
Linux system.
.
This package provides the non-X11 guest utilities for VirtualBox. These
utilities are meant to be run inside the virtual machine.
They provide closer integration and allow to share data through shared folders
between the host system and the virtual machine.
.
Either the virtualbox-guest-dkms or the virtualbox-guest-source package is
also required in order to compile the kernel modules needed for
virtualbox-guest-utils.
