Right...if you notice, I mentioned containers in my original post. KVM comes built in now. You maybe should have another look at it before making broad statements.
I use OpenVZ because it can do containers as well as KVM. It keeps you from having to have different hypervisors for each. It also is fairly easy to setup and has a nice web interface for managing your virtual machines.
I am a very open minded person when it comes to what OS I use, I personally have machines running OS X, Linux (a couple of flavors), Windows 7 and WIndows 8. Everytime I pick up the laptop (A Dell E6510) that used to be my favorite, I end up shutting it down and going for the one with either Windows 7 or Linux on it. I spent 3 hours trying to figure out how to add a second email account to the wonderful email app, only to find out that it doesn't like my Exim mail server for some reason. I will be putting Windows 7 back on the machine as soon as I have some time.
People have been warning anyone who would listen for several years about the issues with these things. Do a google search on hacking POS credit card terminals, it will turn up lots of results from several years back. Yay for B&N for coming clean, but why didn't they replace them, or use their purchasing power to get them fixed before this happened?
It all started with Redhat...
Desktop - Redhat - Mandrake - Ubuntu
Servers - Redhat - SuSE - Debina - Ubuntu
Routers - Freesco - M0n0wall - PFsense - Endian - PFSense - IPCop - IPFire - Endian - PFsense. My routers seem to need the OS changed more than my servers and desktops!
So, because you would have to design new security tools and think a different way in order to make it sure, does that make it flawed? Does this mean we are no longer free to innovate unless it fits into some mold? That is just stupid. If someone comes up with a new way of doing things, put on your REAL security hat and come up with a way to secure it, don't just spread FUD about how it is BAD!!
I haven't had problems with NVIDIA cards since Redhat 5.2. ATI on the other hand...every time I try to install Linux on a laptop with an ATI video card, I end up having to futz with it for hours to get it to work.
Yet another perfect example of something being a little hard to do, so security is just pushed to the side in order to ship a POS application. SDLC is around for a reason, just because it is a "free" or "consumer" application doesn't mean all security should be given up on. damn!
Well said...but you should have done it without being AC. I would have modded you up! BTW, the same goes for me. I have a CISSP-ISSAP, CCSA, JNCIE, CCIE and several other "C" credentials, I don't list them on my Resume to impress the technical folks, they simply get me past the HR guys. Once I get into the technical interview, I rely on my 20+ years of actually doing the job.

Wait...I don't remember any /.ers taking showers!
"upskirt your personal data" I almost spit ice tea on my poor old laptop on that one!! You win the internet award today!
I wish I had some mod points, I would give them ALL to you!
Purchase HOOKERS! Sorry if someone already suggested this, but I didn't want to read all the comments!
I am waiting on the host file rant, at least it would break the cycle of it's mine, no, it's mine!! GAWD!!
Just delete some goddamn email.. hoarder!
No mod points, but you win!!
AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.....BARRACUDA!!!! :oP
My bad, I should have said ProxMox, it uses OpenVZ as well as KVM.
With KVM being built in, Windows works just dandy. You set it up as a VM instead of a Container.

Yes, Steelhead, there is a difference.
Rainbow Trout are not salt water fish, they are fresh water only. Article is bullshit.
If it were coming from anyone else, I might actually pay attention, but coming from Mark Cuban is like hearing Santa talk about Super Computers.
Maybe it _IS_ his hobby!

Go grab a copy of this - http://funambol.com/solutions/devicemanagement.php Setup the DM server and make it do your bidding! :o)
