<drool> Hardware virtualization is something the 3-digit Opterons don't
have, unfortunately, and it'll (hopefully) be several more years before I
upgrade mobo again, tho as I said I'm upgrading the CPUs to dual-core
pretty quickly now.
I expect and predict that as hardware virtualization gets more common,
the software/chroot level of protection now more or less routine for
publicly exposed servers, especially as run on otherwise personal
machines, will graduate to hardware virtualized servers, the idea being
to make it even /more/ difficult for a compromised process to take over
the entire host. That hardware virtualized separation has been the case
on "big iron" for some time, and it's nice seeing it finally come down to
the consumer level. However, it's a party I won't be joining for at
least a few more years, if my hardware holds out, anyway.
Unfortunately it looks like that I'll have to keep using vmware on it for
a while as I won't have the new hardware locally long enough to really
test QEMU / KVM.
