From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I know this isn't a real answer, but it's what I use as a stop gap measure... I basically have a text file called buffer, and ssh into the VM on a terminal on my host, and paste into the buffer file.
I know it's lame, but for simple text and stuff, it works. For things like files and pics, I use a shared drive.
If someone has a better answer... Please let me know!
Grug brained solution. It no fancy but work. Grug happy. Now have time to relax.
