To Tux or not to Tux (VM's)

[James Dugger]

In the past VBox's GuestAdditions plugin for file sharing between host and
guest systems has had latency issues and even file corruption when the
shared folders had a lot of files to manage.  Is this still a problem in
VBox.  I don't recall this issue in QUEMC, though admittedly it has been a
while since I have used the later.
