So I gave up and tried 32 bit guests, just for the sake of testing and comparing.
I finally managed to get VBox functional on OS X. Installed Ubuntu and discovered that I can lock up the VM at will by “ls -lR /”. This only happens under OS X and actually reinforces my suspicion that my Macbook Pro has a hardware problem. But maybe VBox is buggy on that platform. I switched to Windows as the host OS for reliability (…)
I decided to try OpenSolaris (for the first time) under VBox. I have a long-standing hatred of Solaris’ installation procedure and “user experience”, and have to say that Sun/We/Gaia are going very much in the right direction with this. Gnu userland utilities would probably cause me to switch to OpenSolaris on my *desktop*, never mind the server.

JasperSoft’s business development director Andrew Lampitt has kicked off his new blog with an interesting post related to business models used by open source-related vendors.
In it he attempts to define the approach utilized by the likes of JasperSoft and SugarCRM, which offer open source products with core functionality, as well as commercial extensions. The approach is a twist on the dual licensing approach made famous by MySQL* where the vendor, as copyright holder, makes the code available under both the GNU GPL and a commercial license for customers that would rather avoid the GPL.
The approach taken by JasperSoft et al is not to segment by user base but by features. As Andrew explains, “the commercial license is a super-set of the open source product, i.e., it offers premium product features that you will not see in …
