Can somebody provide some advice - or point me to some reading - on the 
following topic?

I'd like to start distributing some software as a Linux virtual appliance that 
can be easily and freely installed by Win & Mac (as well as Linux) users.  Some 
of this code can (in principle) be GPU accelerated via GPU-BLAS libraries.  Can 
executables running in a Guest "see" available GPU resources on their Host - if 
so, is this dependent upon the virtualization system?  The Guest OS will be 
SL6x (hence my post here), and will be running in a text mode (i.e. without a 
graphical desktop / window manager).

Thanks,

Jim.
