OS Virtualization Interview

Posted by ryuzaki0 on 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."

    You make no sense at all. You want to run Linux, but with Windows XP and the OS-X desktop, api, and software? So what exactly do you need linux for?

    Wait, you make some sense: solve the "desktop problem" by ditching Linux and using OS X or Windows XP.

    let Dvorak post on slashdot? Typical Dvorak nonsense :p

    Either that, or some seriously potent recreative drugs. Hard to tell, but the end result is more or less the same.

  4. Just what we need -- more kernel bloat by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'll tell you one thing -- I would like to see a lot less stuff "merged into the mainline Linux kernel." It's seldom done so that I can cleanly leave out the features I really don't need/want, and I always end up paying the overhead.
