Detailed Description

VirtualBox is a very powerful and easy to use virtual machine. It is a very useful software for running multiple OSes without requiring dual boot. Currently, whenever there is an kernel update, the VirtualBox service needs to be manually compiled which also requires the latest kernel header updates. Having it on Fedora repository means it can push both the updates and the compilation of VirtualBox automatically to the user.
