Re: Virtual Server - Consult...
Mind you that the level of user experience would depend on the speed if the display adapter. This is not a simple requirement in a virtual environment. None of the desktop-level virtualization solutions would give you that. Display will be slow, and with it - the entire user experience. You need something with vga pass through. This is what you need to search for.

You're probably thinking of qemu with KVM, in which case it's the same option as the "KVM" option raised already. Using qemu *only*, without KVM (or Xen) is not a sensible option on today's hardware.

Anyway, just wondering - why do you want each family member to have his own virtual machine? This will basically means that you'll need to install and maintain several copies of the OS. Unless these family members really know how to administrate their own VM, wouldn't it be simpler to have them all use the same OS, with several separate users? Linux, preferably? :-) With all that being said, my favorite is KVM. It's hard to give concrete advantages over VirtualBox, though. I think VMware ESX is irrelevant for you - it's an expensive piece of software, and only runs on a limited set of hardware. Perhaps you meant VMware Server. -- Nadav Har'El|Sunday, Jan 22 2012, n...@math.technion.ac.il |- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Willpower: The ability to eat only one http://nadav.harel.org.il |salted peanut. ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

I found that filling with pattern in xfig creates a type 3 font (use filled to get rid of this), and that the default xfig fonts are postscript fonts, the default of which is times new roman (use latex fonts to get rid of this, and set the "special flag" flag to "special". I could not get rid of these fonts unless I changed the font in the figure and exported the figure again. For the pattern, I had to re-edit each patterned object, and this included a thick dashed line. > As a last resort, I plan to open the .odt file and read the XML where > this information has to exist - but before I do that, I wonder if > someone knows an easier OpenOffice option, or tool, exists. > > Thanks, > Nadav. > > -- > Nadav Har'El|Sunday, Jan 22 > 2012, > n...@math.technion.ac.il > |- > Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Earth First!

Hi, I have an 80 page OpenOffice document (Hspell's "niqqudless.odt") which I wrote, shamefully, assuming Microsoft's TrueType fonts.
