As I understand it, the hardware support is aimed at a much lower level of virtualisation (i.e. hardware virtualisation rather than operating system level virtualisation) than VServer. Plus I'm not sure that VServer /needs/ any hardware support - I've never managed to measure the overheads involved. Have you looked at any of the KVM work that is slated ot go into the mainstream kernel soon. I believe they are proposing using the AMD extensions: http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki http://linuxvirtualization.com/articles/2006/10/29/kvm-kernel-based-virtual-machine HTH Cheers, - Martin _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
