One that I'm planning to look into shortly is KVM. This is a hypervisor that's built into the Linux kernel. The Feb. 2008 issue of Linux Journal has an article about it. ... Hmmm... In reviewing that article, I see that KVM requires the CPU to support virtualization. IIRC, the original poster's description said his CPU doesn't have that. In which case, Xen would be my second choice. Wade Curry syntaxman -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
