Hello,
I am installing VirtualBox on Kali.

VirtualBox instructs:
Debian-based Linux distributions
Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list. According to your distribution, replace '<mydist>' with 'artful', 'zesty', 'yakkety', 'xenial', 'vivid', 'utopic', 'trusty', 'raring', 'quantal', 'precise', 'stretch', 'lucid', 'jessie', 'wheezy', or 'squeeze':

deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian <mydist> contrib
(

Which Debian dist do I choose since Kali is rolling?

Uname-r: 4.14.0-kali3-amd64

Cat /proc/version: linux ver 4.14.0-kali3-amd64 gcc ver 7.2 Debian 7.2.0-18 SMP Debian 4.14.12-2kali1 (2018-01-08)

My guess is jessie', 'wheezy', or 'squeeze' and leaning towards wheezy.

Wheezy is the correct.
