I want to try "virtualbox" since I already use it and

am comfortable with it. Which download did you use:

BIGIP-10.1.0.3341.1084.ova.zip

Image fileset for VMware ESX/i Server v4.0

-or-

BIGIP-10.1.0.3341.1084.zip

Image fileset for VMware Workstation v7.0

I am going to try to use the ESX/i Server.

And do you have any advice to "turn it up" under

virtualbox. A quick search and this URL seems

to indicate:

     Subject "VMware ESXi to VirtualBox migration?" 
  
     VBOX can use images in vmdk format directly. Create  
     a new guest, point to the existing image or better  
     a copy of this. 
  
     Dont know if all vmdk-formats are supported. If yours  
     is not supported, you can change format with  
     "vmware-vdiskmanager". 
  
     Best way is one great vmdk instead of 2 GB splitting.

Thanks in advance
