Latest Virtualbox Release 4.1.0 Can Clone VMs
The Virtualbox virtualization software got an overhaul in its latest version 4.1. Among the new features is the ability to clone existing virtual machines. The GUI now includes wizards to create and copy virtual disk images. On Linux machines Virtualbox 4.1 includes an experimental feature to pass through PCI devices to the virtual system, that is supposed to reduce the virtualization overhead. Hotplugging of SATA devices is another experimental feature included in this Virtualbox release. The maximum memory size Virtualbox can use as a host system on 64 bit machines has been increased to 1 TB. A list of bugs that have been fixed can be found in the Virtualbox Changelog. Packages for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris as well es the source code can be downloaded at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads.
