[SLUG] Which Virtualisation, and why?

I've migrated a server to virtualbox for the purpose of experimentation (namely, to resolve upgrade issues going from Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04). I used MondoArchive to clone the hardware server onto a Virtualbox virtual server. All good so far. I'm thinking of building future servers within

Re: [SLUG] Which Virtualisation, and why?

Hi David All the linux big boys are moving fast to KVM. Redhat and IBM have abandoned Xen completely, making it an out of kernel patch set maintained by Citrix and perhaps code from Oracle. Youll find that Debian has also elected to discontinue Xen in the next release. Virtualbox is still

Re: [SLUG] Which Virtualisation, and why?

I'd suggest something like XenServer (if you use Windows by day). It is very simple to use and manage which is handy when it's just a hobby type approach and it saves having to worry about installing and managing an OS and then the hypervisor like KVM, plus their GUI tools are great (again, *if*

Re: [SLUG] libc6 depency issue

Where are you trying to install mondo from? It makes no sense for a package built for a particular system to be incompatible with the libs in that system. That said, you can override dependencies with dpkg if you really want to, like this: cd /var/cache/apt/archives/ sudo dpkg -i --force-depends
