I know that it makes sence to reduce the cpu and mememory consumtion as good as possible - but virtual machines/emulators offers the chance of more security, multiuser and to use other software.... So maybe not for everybody (especialy mass market) - but it could be interesting for some: http://linux-vserver.org/Installation_Considerations says linux-vserver is running on an ARM ;) and vserver needs less recources than xen. *g* So a guest should get ressources in dependency of the battery power and bluetooth (wifi) A-GPS and GPRS access should be configurable... To run third party software like a navigation system (e.g. tomtom), it could run inside a seperate guest :) And beside security some ideas: - share a vserver on your mobile with a friend - spend your vserver for an open city/campus message system - have different guest systems on a micro-SD - run a complete "game, sienticific ..." system for the Neo1973 as guest system. - pralell to your productive system test a new openmoko system Any reports/experiances about linux-vserver on an ARM? rob _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community
