I'm actually running VirtualBox on a Debian host: 
igueths at holly:~$ uname -a
Linux holly 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt7-1 (2015-03-01) x86_64
GNU/Linux

When I used to use the builds of virtualbox using qt4 under windows xp, and wineyes 6.1, it was quiet accessible. Nowadays, I'm using virtualbox 4.3.x on windows7 home premium with the latest nvda, and that is quiet accessible also.

I would really appreciate knowing how others are getting it to work since my laptop can't handle vmware workstation maybe it will handle virtualbox instead.
