First of all, thank you for all the answers I received on my initial
question. I know I can always rely on this vm group.
Second, let me clarify my initial question. The professor's students
will be running virtual linux machines that will be logged on for weeks
at a time. The professor will use the data we collect to create a cpu
usage graph for each student. We will run a baseline user with minimal
cpu usage for him to compare against the students' cpu usage. The
professor is looking to see if his students are using their own debian
desktop machines or their virtual linux machines for their class
assignments.
Hope this clarifies the question.
