These provide the utilities for Linux (or to be more precise Debian) as
guest. So far, so good. But I use Linux as Host and Windows (XP) as
Guest. With the non-ose version I can install the vbox guest additions
from a virtual CD and get the associated services. The contents of this
CD should also be available for the ose version.
