Well I'm not a *NIX admin - I do have to use 'sudo' to install the
program but not run it and I do need to add a vboxuser to allow USB
support (and to stop the annoying warning even if I never use the USB
support). There are lots of other virtualization platforms out there,
I'd ask at your 'institution', if you don't already know, as from my
own day-to-day working experience a lot of these places use Virtual
Environments because it is so easy now to set up, XCP, Cirix
XENserver, KVM, VMware ESX, Windows Hyper-V etc.

In fact in many of these places set up a VM in preference to a /home
dir because it is now so easy to manage a VM is just a 'big file' (no
different in essence to a /home 'directory') - but I digress.
