Have virtualbox 4.1.8 installed.
Make sure you change your VirtualBox preferences to not auto-capture keyboard, and also set host key to none. Otherwise you may accidentally screw-up automated installs.

#Interacting with jclouds-vbox and connecting to machines
For java guidance look into src/test/java/org/jclouds/virtualbox/compute/VirtualBoxExperimentLiveTest.java.
For now nat+host-only is the only available network configuration, nodes should be accessible from the host by:
> ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -o "UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null" -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no me@192.168.86.X
where X is the node index with regard to creation order starting at 2 (2,3,4, etc...)
It *should* behave as anyother provider, if not please report.

#Notes:
- jclouds-vbox is still at alpha stage please report any issues you find.
- jclouds-vbox has been mostly tested on Mac OSX, it might work on Linux, but it won't work on windows for the moment.
- jclouds-vbox has been mostly tested on Mac OSX, it might work on Linux iff vbox is running and correctly set up, but it won't work on windows for the moment.
- cached isos, vm's and most configs are kept at ~/.jclouds-vbox/ by default.
- jclouds-vbox assumes vbox has the default host-only network vboxnet0, that the network is in 192.168.86.0/255.255.255.0 and that the host as address 1 in this network.

#Throubleshooting
As jclouds vbox support is quite new things might go wrong sometimes. The procedure to make things work again is the following:
1. Remove all relevant vm's (named "jclouds-* ") with the vbox GUI. Make sure to select "delete all files".
- Step one should be enough most of the times, but if it fails (by throwing some error):
2. kill all vbox processes (VboxHadless, VBoxSVC, VBoxXPCOMIPCD, VirtualBox, vboxwebsrv)
3. delete manually the files by executing: "rm -rf ~/.jclouds-vbox/jclouds-*"
4. restart the vbox GUI and make sure to delete all remaining machines ignoring all errors.
