Virtual Box 3.2.10 Adds Support for Ubuntu 10.10 and Fedora 14
In case you missed it, Virtual Box 3.2.10 just had its release and it
adds support for Ubuntu 10.10 - another recently released technology.
Fedora 14 is still in beta, but Virtual Box has added support for that
distro as well. Along with these new features, 3.2.10 is full of
bugfixes as this is primarily a maintenance release.
The few added features include improved audio playback, which is less choppy now, and a custom core dumper for Solaris hosts. The dumper gathers more data when a VM crash occurs. Support has also been added for X.Org Server 1.9 and the VM can now be minimized from the mini toolbar.
Here are some of the fixes from the changelist:

I thought this whole virtualization thing was about simulating hardware? It (ought to) support *anything*, including operating systems the VirtualBox team has never heard of, so long as it's normal PC stuff doing normal hardware things.
