ies4linux: it a program to run Internet Explorer 6 within Linux.

i think they're trying to get IE7 in ies4linux as well, not sure.
so i switched over to VirtualBox PUEL just a few minutes ago, but now i can't see my USB devices (jumpdrive). keep getting a memory error when accessing the settings and for within settings i can't see the device.
edit: SUCCESS!!! i searched virtualbox.org and found out the we have the solution in our Ubuntu Help pages:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox#USB
Code:
USB
To get USB support, you need the PUEL version. Via the GUI, there is an option to enable USB.
Furthermore, your user must be able to access /proc/bus/usb/*
Since Gutsy, /proc/bus/usb is not mounted by default. You need to edit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh and uncomment the following lines:
#
# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
#
mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
In order to give users in the vboxusers group write permissions to the devices in /proc/bus/usb, you'll need to edit some rules in /etc/udev/rules.d.
Under gutsy, edit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules to say the following:
# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664", GROUP="vboxusers"
Under hardy, edit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-basic-permissions.rules to say the following:
# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0664", GROUP="vboxusers"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664", GROUP="vboxusers"
Then, restart the udev service:
sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart
Now, if you haven't done it already, make sure your user is part of the group vboxusers using the following command:
sudo adduser $USER vboxusers
http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/747
you have to make a group and gave them access to reading and writing to the devices in /proc/bus/usb
even though it says Gutsy and Hardy, i'm now running my Kingston USB Drive from within Windows while on Intrepid!

crazyness, i agree with WWSmith36, the PUEL version of Virtualbox is better, just make sure to "filter" your USB devices that you want in the setting tab.
