I get the impression that there are special kernel modules that are required for virtualbox, but if I install dkms then that will be automatically handled for me whenever there is a kernel upgrade.

Another nice feature about VirtualBox is it has the option of "Remote Desktop" access to the VMs built in, if you chose to select that option in the Admin tool.  Comes in real handy for Windows VMs, which don't lend themselves well to being managed.
