VirtualBox Full Screen

I recently got a new Mac, and wanted a Virtual Machine solution.  I read on the forums that there is no VMWare Player for OS-X, and I didn't want to pay for VMWare Fusion, so VirtualBox was my answer.

When I built my Windows and Linux VMs, I couldn't figure out why Full-Screen mode wouldn't work.  Then I found that you have to install "Virtual Box Guest Additions" to get full screen mode to work.   Installing this in both Windows and Linux was as easy as hitting HOST+D.  This popped up a CD with the software, and installed it easily.  Then, to enter/exit Full Screen mode, I just hit HOST+F.   Simple as pie!
