I have a haldaemon group
haldaemon:x:104:haldaemon
and a user

Hello,
I am interested in usb support within virtualbox guests. The version I
am currently using does not offer it:
virtualbox-3.2.12-r4
would the bin package
virtualbox-bin- 3.2.12-r1
has it? Is the usb support the main difference between the bin versus
non-bin packages?
Thanks,

Hi there!
I still wonder why my KDE4 system starts swapping so early. Until a week
ago, I had 6G of RAM, but after a day of being logged in, I usually had some
swap usage. Sometimes this goes up to 1.5G, this is when the system becomes
way too slow and I log out.
