Yeah, that's true. At least one other denizen of this list has gone that 
way, I believe. It's definitely a fallback option if I don't like what I 
see when I put my periscope up in QEMU-land. VirtualBox was a random, 
arbitrary choice when I first started using it, so no reason I should be 
married to it, especially if Darac's instructions to migrate the disks 
work as smoothly as they look like they should. But if I have trouble 
migrating this will be the way I go.

Anyone know _why_ Virtualbox is falling out of Debian, by the way?
