Mainly out of curiosity - for those of you that setup Oracle VMs on personal hardware, which vendor do you prefer and what are the drawbacks (if any) that caused you to go with the one you chose?
For example, if you prefer VirtualBox over Vmware, is there a specific reason and vice versa?
I've got a new w520 laptop I'm going to be setting up machines on and I remember the last time I did this I ended up picking one over the other but I can't remember why...
Any virtual machine tips related to setup/configuration you'd like to share about the networking setup or anything? (For example, I would recommend the Dual DHCP DNS Software from sourceforge to run locally as it will allow you to "fake out" the RAC configuration tool by seeing the host names in your DNS server and doing DNS lookups locally).
I vaguely remember that either VMWare or Virtualbox was harder to get the network configuration setups the way I wanted them but I can't remember which one was easier to deal with.
Thanks,
Chris
