+Mageia package repository provides **virtualbox** package, but it does not keep pace with the latest version available on official [[https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads|site]]. Mandriva packages are pre-built against older bits (Python 2.6, openssl 0.9.8), but [[http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.4/VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.4_74291_openSUSE114-1.x86_64.rpm|openSUSE 11.4]] package seems to fit in Mageia's environment (Python 2.7, openssl 1.0.0).

-(Mandriva versions require older bits - Python 2.6, openssl 0.9.8).
