I have found that running linux as a host and running a linux guest are a very
powerful combination. I used this combination to test different distributions
and had very little difficulty in setting up a new instance. I also ran
windows, openbsd (as the firewall) and sun solaris for pc and a gre
If you are not using special hardware virtual is virtually the same as
real hardware. I agree that it is better to run windows in the vm and
the vm server on linux but if your a gamer with a fat video card I get
leaving windows with direct access to the power. As far as vm to

I have been wanting to learn km but virtualization the only real
disadvantage is direct hardware connectivity for peripherals.

same since it's entirely virtualized. There are quite a few things you can't
do in a virtualized session such as virtualization technologies.
If you just want to fiddle with it to touch it, you're fine. If you want t
If you're using windows as the host, then it seems that you lose out on a
lot of the benefits of running gnu linux, namely that you aren't prone to

Linux works very well in virtual environments. Linux compared to Windows is
very efficient with resources, and therefore does not suffer nearly as badly
from the VM overhead.
That being said, I, personally am not a fan of VMware. For desktops,
especially with windows as the host, I like VirtualB
I have a VMWare computer running Red Hat Linux.
Talking to some Linux people, I learned this is common.
What are the Pros and Cons of running Linux on a virtual machine?
What do you think? All comments will be appreciated?
It seems like lot of extra work to me but I am newbie.
