Hi Gilad,
Have you heard of KVM-lite ? (KVM that doesn't require virtualization
features from processor)
In what sense "KVM rocks", do we have any benchmark of KVM versus
VirtualBox ?
I saw a post from Ingo Molnar stating that context number of context
switches in KVM reduced dramatically
Hi,
We developed and support for years now a software product for tech support
centers that uses KVM as a hypervisor.
One installation at Canon in Japan runs 35 concurrent Vista/win2k/xp and
soon Win7 instances.
Each session is about a minute long (it is used by tech support people to
help them
Kvm lite is not very interesting.
As for VirtualBox - if you want to run one VM, especially if you are on win
or mac, virtualbox is really cool.
Whenthe amount of VMs is measured in tens, id use KVM.

you will see at the top VirtualBox binaries. If you then click on
VirtualBox 3.0.6 for linux hosts link you will get to the link that

You can drop the eventually. KVM rocks :-)
Care to give more details? Especially compared to Xen?

I saw the reference to libvirt in the RHEL 5.4 announcement
How is KVM as a desktop? I mean in VMWare there is a special windows display
driver which makes it look very natural (and resizeable)
For a server I would also support KVM, the only bad thing I have to say
about it is its buggy PXE rom stack.

If your primary OS is the Linux one, then I recommend installing it as a
host and use VirtualBox ( basically because its so easy to use )
If you intend to play 3D games on win7 then note that it wont work on a
vitalized OS. In my case I just created a separated portion just for win7 /
games.

I used VirtualBox on Ubuntu 32 bit to install Windows XP, just to try
to see if Skype 4 for windows will work

Hi,
Depends.
Both Ubuntu and RedHat push KVM as the virtualization solution. IMHO it is
the fastest from the three. It is also most open one.
The free version of VirtualBox has no USB support but has excellent 3D
support, so it is ideal for games.
VMWare is ok, but I don't like it's integration
I'm using VMPlayer with Ubuntu running windows in a virtual machine and I
didn't need to do anything special to get audio running
I also like it very much that you can resize on the fly the virtual client,
very useful if you need to connect your server to an external beamer for
presentations etc.

Where do you get it? I see only virtualbox-ose on Ubuntu 9.04, which is 2.1.4.
On virtualbox.org there are later version 3.0.6 but nothing mentions
virtualbox-bin.
