We initially started with qemu for its light weight, but the performance was way too slow without kQemu(the accelerator module for qemu). Then we had to switch to VirtualBox for the only reason that kqemu doesnot work on 64-bit :( I accept qemu is good and we were surprised to see the snapshot feeature working just fine, but the performance is little bad. And also Qemu doesnot support Hardware virtualization, yes it is an emulator. i know. The safe browsing environment on QEMU was not safe from key loggers, but virtualbox did that fine :) For home users with 32-bit systems, QEMU is really good :) Saravanan Sundaramoorthy Red Hat Certified Engineer http://www.google.com/profiles/dearsaravanan#about +91 99404 32545 _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
