Scripting

VirtualBox works good when you use the same VMs all the time. It organizes the disk images in one directory and the configuration files in another. It kees a record of all known disk images and virtual machines.

If you try to carry a VM around with you on an USB stick or want to put it on an encrypted image, then you will get trouble.

Thanks to Wolfgang Stief and Constantin Gonzalez, I got hold on one of the proceedings of the Linux Kongress and OpenSolaris Developer Conference.
In this book, I found amoung other, also very interesting, articles one about LAX by Thomas Groß.

LAX has some very interesiting concepts, but, unfortunately, it doesn't fit my needs.
