qemu yes, kvm no. Virtualbox and kvm (and xen I believe) use qemu for device emulation. Virtualbox does not use kvm (that would make it hard to run on windows after all). qemu-system knows how to use kvm if you ask it to (with -enable-kvm) which is of course much faster than the normal qemu cpu emulation. -- Len Sorensen --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
