I won't naysay the others, but if you are running 11.0 beta then I would hold 
off.  I installed a clean 11.0 and VB 1.6 closed source version and I've had 
serious problems with the VM disk thrashing and then crashing.  Downgrading 
and installing a new VM got the same issue, so I'm not sure if it's a VB 
problem, an openSuse problem, or something has gone bad with my hardware.
