Hello there, I had good luck with kvm, but I do have a new enough CPU which has hardware support for virtualization. I usually don't bridge the network, but I remember to do this sometime ago and everything work as expected (there are hooks for bridging in //etc/network/interface, so that you have the bridge as soon as you boot, then you can add the tap interface from kvm). cheers graziano > > > > Personally I am using VirtualBox OSE for exact the reason you would like > > virtualization. > > > > After a quick check virtualbox-ose is either available within Lenny > > (including the kernel module) or via etch-backports where you need to > > build the kernel module yourself though. > > > > For a list of packages available in Debian check > > http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=virtualbox-ose. > > > > Regards, > > > > Stephan > > Stephan, > > I was using VirtualBox for a while, but could never get the bridged mode > working due to my laptop connecting via wifi, but then again no one else > needs to access my dev box anymore.
