Machines (Virtual)
You’d think that making a virtual machine these days would be easy. I already use VMWare to run a XP machine for testing. But like everything else, I prefer to avoid proprietary technology – even if it is free.
So what are the alternatives?
Well XEN is supposed to be the next big thing, except I don’t have a processor that supports Intel Virtual Technology – or whatever it’s called. So I can’t virtualise without running a modified OS.
Run VMWare and XEN I hear you say; I considered it, but I can’t build the kernel monitor modules while XEn is running.
Getting Xen runnning was an interesting exercise, I think it’s time to move onto QEMU and see how I go there.
