+      VirtualBox is traditionally considered to be a virtualization solution
+      aimed at the desktop.  While it is certainly possible to install
+      VirtualBox on a server, it offers few remote management features beyond
+      using the vboxmanage command line.
+      RemoteBox aims to fill this gap by providing a graphical VirtualBox
+      client which is able to manage a VirtualBox server installation.
