I don't think it's a terribly attractive platform for this... appart from lack of cpu virtualization support, fixed relatively low memory size limited cpu and i/o bottlenecked around pci aren't really great things to throw into the mix. I love my 5501s but I wouldn't use them for this. the intel atom 330 (if you don't care about the lack of vt) or any core2 duo (from the 10w ulv models to the 35w larger laptop variants) on an embedded board would be much more suitable for virtualized system. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Soekris-tech mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
