I hadn't thought of that but I'll give it a shot. Shared virtual machines are sometimes called VMware Workstation Server mode. Shared VMs work a lot like KVM but still running in user space instead of in kernel space or on a bare metal hypervisor. A benefit to shared VMs is that they can be started in the background at boot time independent of the console UI. The tradeoff is that none of the direct system/hardware access the console UI provides is available to them. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
