Virtualization In Linux Kernel 2.6.20

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."

  2. Wrong audience for this article by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    These days, all of the people who would really know anything beyond the basics about virtualisation have either left for digg or other tech sites. All you're going to get is a few sad 'first post' trolls and a couple of annoying threads that will be so vapid they'd make the yahoo message boards look profound in comparision.

    The tech world -meaning the people who would know anything about technology beyond running loonix in thier mom's basement- has left slashdot behind.

    Isn't it time you did too?

    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.
