for the sake of a presentation i'm giving, i want to list all of the

explaining them all in horrendous detail (it's only an hour), but i at
least want to hit the high points, so i'm just trying to create a list
-- stuff like QEMU, VirtualBox, VMwarePlayer, JumpBox, KVM, Xen ...
and on and on.
what's worth having on that list? after it's all over, i'll post a
summary (and perhaps a few simple recipes) to the wiki. thanks.
I havent used QEMU, though a lot of things are based around it. I used
to use VMWare. Then I found VirtualBox. FOSS and easy to use. I give it
full marks. Xen and KVM require (as far as i know) special CPU support,
and as I have an old Athloin XP3200+, I cant use them.
But yeah ... put VirtualBox on your list for sure.
Is VirtualBox superior to VMware Server?
Paul
i am not qualified to say whether its superior, but in my experience it
is faster and easier to use ... and its FOSS
