"I'm fairly sure guest additions are only for Windows, Linux, and Solaris. But if you're running Linux in CLI for example there are benefits to having guest additions installed:

Easier mouse movement between the host and guest OS
Sometimes USB does not respond, installing guest additions usually fixes this
Time synchronization with the host OS
Easier sharing of folders from the host OS

and probably more that would benefit CLI."
