My only big complaint with VirtualBox is networking. You’ll need to install the guest additions if you want seamless mouse movement and sharing of host OS (Mac OS X in this instance) folders for transfer of data between guest and host. Note that the guest additions is an ISO that needs to be mounted in the VM before it can be installed inside the VM. In this basic example I’ve configured CentOS 7.2 with VBoxGuestAdditions 5.0.12, which you can download here: You can download the VirtualBox installation package for your OS as well as the extension pack and guest additions. I then moved the camera back over the VM and clicked the trackpad to take capture. In order to create the screen shot I moved the mouse away from the VM and chord pressed and then pressed the space bar to bring up the camera mouse pointer. The screen capture above is from my still-somewhat-new MBP. In this post I talk about running CentOS 7.2 on VirtualBox 5.0.12. On Mac OS X I have no practical choice other than VirtualBox from Oracle. To address that need I’ve turned to virtual machines running on Windows or Mac OS X. I have a constant need to support Linux development.
