Priceless mini-tutorial
Forever grateful

Just one thing.. when I opened up Vbox after installation, I got a warning informing me that I wouldn’t be able to create a VM as the vbox kernel module wasnt loaded (?)
I solved this problem doing this:

1) sudo apt-get install linux-headers-4.9.0-4-686-pae

2) sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

After that was done, Vbox was working nicely
