I want to run Windows XP as virtual machine for security reasons. I have Suse Linux -11.1-. I’m all new to this.
How do I do the basic setup? Can it done with windows7? How much slower is it?
Virtual Box. XP and W7 both work fine.
Get .rpm from here: VirtualBox
Install with
rpm -ihv *package_name
from su terminal
You need to add yourself to VBox users with
groupmod --add-user <login_name> vboxusers
USB may just work with newer versions now, but check this if it doesn’t

Some good info here, though it’s actually for the OSE version
VirtualBox Installation - openSUSE
After kernel Update run
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
you need the usual build packages: gcc, make, kernel-source and header packages
