Sun owns this now so thing may change to be more standard in the debian 
package. Who knows.

One builds the module /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup (as root)

Vbox will not boot a number of things. No success with the little slackware 
delilinux which would be the best VM for those of us without gigas of memory. 
Haiku (beOP) and reactos also will fail. Qemu will run  most anything and 
without the need of guest-modules which may or may not be available for the 
target guest or may or may not install their successfully. Qemu presents 
standard "hardware".

Xen will  run linux--no windows.
