Hi there,

my scenario is the following: I have a classroom with two dozens of Windows 7 machines.

I would like to create a read-only virtual disk that is placed on a network drive. That disk would contain a standard install of Fedora 20.

Now I would like to have an overlay filesystem that is based on the virtual disk above, and, per user we would have the difference. Since I would not encourage the installation of large packages, that overlay filesystems would contain only configuration modifications mostly. I would share these diffs through Samba to have password protection.

Is this doable with Virtualbox? How? Would it make acceptable speeds for running basic services like httpd and mysqld?

Cheers

HI Gergely.

Not sure if this is really the best way to go about it.

Why not run the VMs from the local Windows 7 classroom machines?
