Linux VMs For Everyone

Posted by timothy on from the non-beowulf-non-cluster dept.

Over at Newsforge, Grant Gross has written an interesting overview of the options available for hosting multiple Linux installations on virtual machines; interestingly, it's not just for those with the big bucks for high-end IBM hardware, though that's surely nice.

  1. One Windows OS on one machine?! by Glorat · · Score: 3, Funny

    Cool! Not only are you allowed to run Linux on your computer for FREE but you are allowed to run 1000 copies of Linux on your computer for FREE!!

    Now, 1000 copies of Windows on a machine would cost... $100,000? Nehehe. Linux rocks =P

    Consider the possibilities.....

    Multiple BSOD's running at the same time!

    Here are some points to be considered.....

    When I say "OK" and reboot, does this start another instance of Windows, or just jump me to the other blue screen?

    Could one BSOD cause a another BSOD?

    What exactly would the effect of a "Virtual BSOD" be?

    Inquiring minds want to know......

    Apparently the email didn't get delivered.
