[Cialug] Virtualbox under Ubuntu 11.04

[Matthew Nuzum]

Hi, there is a command line interface to VirtualBox but I'm not sure if it
will work without a graphical interface. I routinely use it but I have a
desktop OS installed.

Another option that you may have is KVM on Ubuntu. It is targeted
specifically at servers. It would be an alternative to VirtualBox.
