Hi there,
because I just noticed that there is still no RPM package for RHEL 7/ CentOS 7 for Virtualbox .... what is the safest and cleanest way to install Virtualbox on CentOS 7? Has anyone already done and can make a recommendation?
I always just download it from virtualbox.org, also making sure to get the extensions package for the same veresion, also from virtualbox.org.
they offer binaries for all the "big" linux versions, inncluding .RPM for RHEL/Oracle Linux, and you would use that one for Centos.
What they don't have yet, is the "guest additions" for EL7. I assume that will become available when Oralce Linux 7 becomes available.
The guest additions should be available soon. There's an RC of 4.3.14 available, and so far the video driver support for an EL7 guest seems to work OK for me.
