OS Virtualization Interview

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday April 18, 2006 @01:37PM from the new-distro-smell dept.

VirtualizationBuff writes "KernelTrap has a fascinating interview with Andrey Savochkin, the lead developer of the OpenVZ server virtualization project. In the interview Savochkin goes into great detail about how virtualization works, and why OpenVZ outshines the competition, comparing it to VServer, Xen and User Mode Linux. Regarding virtualization, Savochkin describes it as the next big step, 'comparable with the step between single-user and multi-user systems.' Savochkin is now focused on getting OpenVZ merged into the mainline Linux kernel."

That's true, but come on, it's going to be pretty fun to play with on desktop machines, too, isn't it? Imagine all the tricks you can play on computer-illiterate friends/family. One second it's Windows, the next it's MacOSX, then 10 seconds later it's Linux! Heads may explode.
