As I am about to install this thing next week, would you care to share
any insights about that process?
Well . . .
The first thing is to get VirtualBox sorted out on your system.
The second thing is that Genymotion looks for the SDK which is hard to
locate:
~/android-sdks/sdk (where '~' is your Home folder),
don't let yourself be distracted by 'android-sdk-linux'
after that it goes "all funny" about something that is supposed to be in
the /etc/init.d folder, but isn't; so you have to do some fiddling
around,
and quite how the thing worked because of my fiddling around I cannot
really say.
After that things seem comparatively straightforward, and I suspect the
best way to
get an Android standalone onto one of the devices is by uploading it to
some website
and then downloading it from inside the emulated device.
Unfortunately right now I've got a lot of "extraneous stuff" on my
plate, but I hope, come
Sunday night I will be able to upload some reasonably pretty pictures to
the Forum.

Apparently installation woes are a YMMV kind of thing. I just
installed without any headscratching at all. Just clicked through the
dialogs as they came up and I was all set and running.
That makes me very happy for you.
I suspect the woes are not YMMV at all, but possibly TMMBDAU problems
( TMMBDAU = That Man Mathewson Being Difficult As Usual )
or just the simple fact that as Linux is just SO customisable, and
seductively customisable at that,
that it is a bit infra dig to expect every system to deal with
Genymotion smoothly.
Certainly, now that I have Genymotion up and running, it is a wonderful
thing, and
well worth any 'extra' work that may crop up.
Richmond.
