I do have Virtual Box 4.2 and I am willing to test ... So please do send me
instructions on how to get going. If there are any specific use cases which
need to be testet then do send them to me... (BTW, I have some important
VMs on VirtualBox, should I be worried about them while testing?)

Also while installing I got the errors related to xhtml1-dtds ... I read
quite a lot on it on
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-November/msg00430.html and
turns out this problem is not present in Fedora, it occurs in Ubuntu almost
every time, because ubuntu does not have xhtml1-dtds package. Now, because
of this will I face any problem? if so then what exactly, and how to solve
it...Also is there a workaround for it...?
