Virtualization in Linux: A Review of Four Software Choices (Techthrob.com)Virtualization in Linux: A Review of Four Software Choices (Techthrob.com)Posted Feb 13, 2008 1:02 UTC (Wed) by leoc (subscriber, #39773)In reply to: Virtualization in Linux: A Review of Four Software Choices (Techthrob.com) by interalia Parent article: Virtualization in Linux: A Review of Four Software Choices (Techthrob.com)
Have you tried VirtualBox? Sun just bought the parent company (Innotek), but the code is GPL'd and even the SVN trunk works well (just stick to kernel 2.6.23 on your host, the kernel driver doesn't support 24 yet).

Virtualization in Linux: A Review of Four Software Choices (Techthrob.com) Posted Feb 13, 2008 23:08 UTC (Wed) by interalia (subscriber, #26615) [Link] No, I haven't tried VirtualBox yet actually... good reminder. I haven't looked into it closely, but I thought that the free GPLed version was crippled in a significant way compared to their commercial offering?

I've run OS/2, Windows and Linux under it. The drawback is that it is somewhat difficult to compile. I would recommend getting the code from subversion. The tarball drops do not contain some of the dependencies so their hokey build system has trouble when you try to point it to versions installed separately.
