...the install of virtual box still doesn't provide the gui, which could be problematic for new users.


Can you please elaborate?

Installed and running for the last several hours, I restarted the system a few times, installed updates, and several programs, virtualbox included.
Virtual machine works fine, the install of virtual box still doesn't provide the gui, which could be problematic for new users. No issues to report, everything so far works as expected.  :)

Hi Jerry,

As per my post no immediate updates were available after install from live usb. (2.8 is installed on another drive)

I found this very unusual.

Just an observation... FYI
When I clicked on the download 2.8 64bit link above,
the download starts, On the Sourceforge download page.
The actual Green download button, says 2.6 - 32bit
But Chrome is showing it is downloading file 2.8-beta - 64bit

Downloading now.

The green button will always show the latest stable version.
