Virtualization In Linux Kernel 2.6.20

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday January 9, 2007 @06:45PM from the performance-numbers dept.

mcalwell writes with an article about the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (or KVM for short) in the release candidate Linux 2.6.20 kernel. From the article: "[T]he Linux 2.6.20 kernel will include a full virtualization (not para-virtualization) solution. [KVM] is a GPL software project that has been developed and sponsored by Qumranet. In this article we are offering a brief overview of the KVM for Linux as well as offering up in-house performance numbers as we compare KVM to other virtualization solutions such as QEMU Accelerator and Xen."

What about BSD/BSD? by Generic+Player · 2007-01-10 02:54 · Score: 0, Troll

Why would you want the horrible mess of GNU bloatware and random crap that is a debian or gentoo userland? Just try one of the BSDs, they have much nicer userlands already on their own, no need for Debian/ or Gentoo/ at all.
