You might know that, but I'm leaning towards LKM. LKM has the great
advantage of being a standard part of the Linux kernel.
Red Hat's tools make the difference pretty minor so far as usability is
concerned.
Hi John,
I assume you mean KVM (which uses Linux Kernel Modules).
Thsi is another form of Full Virtualization which would have no place on
System z, except as a replacement for z/VM.
I do, and there _are_ some who don't run z/VM. I don't for a moment
think Linux is, or is likely to be, as good a virtualisation platform,
but it might be enough for some.
The conversation was about the sharing of the actual Linux resources
rather than those of the "machine" (Virtual or Real).
I did mention it in the context of someone else's mentioning Xen.
OS level virtualization allows the sharing of many OS resources
such as the kernel and filesystems.
