I ditched VMWare Fusion for Virtualbox, because I got kernel panics (and the kind that cannot be traced to anything particular and creep up unexpectantly)

I never gotten panics before I installed VMWare - nor did I get them when VMWare was not running.

Performance is the same (Virtualbox even feels a bit more responsive on my 24" 2006 iMac) and the virtual machine has crashed on me, but the crash remained localized to the virtual machine.

Why is there never a mention of Oracle's Virtualbox? It remains as the best Linux guest experience for openness reasons and it us the only one that runs on all x86 host OSes.

We've mentioned it several times.

VMWare doesn't run on all main x86 OSes?

Windows? Yup. Linux? Yup. OS X? Yup.
