These packages were pointed out to me a while back as a possible alternative to
virtualbox. While doing a bit of work on the new machine, I did a quick search
using both of those terms in Synaptic Package Manager, also updating a couple
of files and installing one other package. These searches each returned a
nonntrivial list of packages, but none of them was named kvm or qemu, so I
must be missing something here. Can any of you guys help me out? I'm not
averse to other tools, like apt, etc. if that's preferable...
Basically, anything starting with a k came from ingo klockers kde desktop.
qemu OTOH is a tiny kernel that serves as the building foundation for
other applications. It predates linux but has always been a niche
product that because it was tiny and had decade long uptimes, but
limitations that linux blew thru, has remained a niche product. At least
that is my impression. YMMV.
A pointer to any documentation on these so I can get a good idea of how to set
it up would also be helpful.
