Until recently, I had been settled on <a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.qemu.org\/Main_Page\">qemu<\/a> with the kqemu module for acceleration for some time, and thought it was pretty good.  Then, one of the group mates got me to give <a href=\"http:\/\/www.virtualbox.org\/\">VirtualBox<\/a>, which was too much of a hassle last time I looked at options, another try.

The partially-visible terminal with htop in the bottom left shows that it isn&#8217;t even eating my machine to do that.<br \/>\nBasically, it&#8217;s faster, it&#8217;s lighter on host resources, it&#8217;s more compatible, and NATed networking for the guests just works.  Also, there is no hassle because the Arch package maintainers wrote some <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.archlinux.org\/index.php\/Virtualbox\">excellent support scripts<\/a>.
