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.

    I'm a big believer in freedom of speach myself; but it's pretty apparent that between the page-lenthening posts, goatse.cx links and truly sick ASCII art that perhaps some draconian measure might be appropriate. Freedom isn't everything; but boosting the signal-to-noise ratio is.

    I plan to provide "Virtual colocation" based on
    UML and (alternatively for people who don't want Linux) VMware for 30$/mo in February.

    Physical hardware will be dual 1.6Ghz Athlon MP.

    If you are interested in being a beta customer, please contact me.
