 Posted: Fri Feb 01, 2019 7:40 pm Post subject: [Solved] VMware to VirtualBox |
 |
|
I use virtual machines just for practicing on VulnHub & HackTheBox machines. Using VMware 15, the OpenSSL issues are preventing it from launching. Because of this, I have unmerged vmware-worksation & vmware-modules. I am currently in the process of emerging VirtualBox.
Having never really used virtual box, I just have a couple questions.
1. In gentoo, does it work similarly to Vmware when it comes to networking?
2. Is there anything else I should be aware of initially that isn't covered in the Gentoo wiki on VirtualBox?

Yes, it should "Just Work™"
Well, if you have a vmware windows guest it is going to flip a gasket about your hardware changing.

I will only be using fresh OVA files.
