Pretty straightforward, although installing 'virtualbox' from the
added repository installed 1.66 and not 2.0 - I had to tell it
explicitly to install virtualbox-2.0. Also noted that it removed
virtualbox-ose, but did not remove the virtualbox-ose modules for my
kernel, I had to do that myself, and then (re)install 2.0. And, the
name of the binary has changed now to VirtualBox or something.
'virtualbox' by itself wants to install virtualbox-ose (i.e., the
prior version). I suppose that means now that I'm running the full
non-open binary, but I guess that's OK.

Transitioning in progress, I will have to try 64 bit guests soon!
