Hi all,
I'm trying to choose right VirtualBox version. I have been working with OSE version a long time, and this version was suitable for me all the time.
But now I have found the virtualbox-ose 2.0.4 version and the virtualbox_bin 2.10 version. Why OSE version is older then BIN version?

because hasn't been updated. personally i use virtualbox_bin because i don't need to wait to virtualbox-modules to be updated when a new kernel arrives. i simply type vbox_build_module.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

+1 for the bin version.
Besides you get all the features, like usb in the virtual machines and a few more things.

Yeah it sucks a bit that the OSE is outdated, especially because it depends on kernel <2.6.28. eg you can't update your kernel
I tried to compile it myself with ABS but failed... It's probably not as easy as it looks to update this package.
Fwiw , page is here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11508
I think I'll wait a bit longer and see if I can help Geoffrey. I don't like closed source stuff.
