hi susers! At last ! The virtualization revolution in Linux happens !
Until now, Linux had no quality virtualization available. At least no OSS solution existed, that is also user-friendly. Yesterday the world changed with the introduction of Innotek's VirtualBox (dual-licensed under GPL and proprietary license). This solution feels like professional VirtualPC/VMware Workstation: allows full integration of guest OSes (mouse pointer, etc...), works with Linux and Windows 2000/XP guests and hosts, and has a nice Qt3-based GUI. And it's Free ! Unfortunately AMD64 arch and Win9x OS are not supported at all. Not host and not guest. This solution is *much* more stable than Qemu/Xen/Bochs whatever the OSS world has today. (through it's still less stable than MS Virtual PC 2004) It is also *very* fast: Windows 2000 Guest installed & run faster than under VMware/VirtualPC. So please try it, if you like VMware and emulators in general. I seriously want this solution to be included in the main repository for openSUSE 10.3. Such high-quality OSS software, developed by a commercial company is a real rarity and a big asset for our community.
