The shared directory has to be a directory on the host (ie. ext4 is what 
I'm using). VirtualBox lets me share as many directories as I like and 
lets me specify which ones. I think I tried qemu and kvm and didn't even 
know how to use it or where to begin. I might have to revisit that 
sometime especially if I get tired of VirtualBox.
