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.
First commercial/OSS x86 emulator for Linux - VirtualBox 1.3.2 !!! http://www.virtualbox.org/ http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualbox_fedora_centos_opensuse http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes
benchmark VirtualBox vs Qemu+KQemu vs VMware http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=56
What do you think of it?

This does look really interesting. I am using VMware right now and I am very happy with it, but I am going to give this a try in the near future. Thanks.
