There's a couple of others, including Xen. If you're virtualising desktop systems on a desktop, and aren't particularly comfortable with all the concepts yet, I'd go virutalbox. In fact, I'd go virtualbox doing any virtualisation on a desktop for anything. There's (allegedly) some degredation in performance, but compared with what's available for KVM and Xen the huge bump up in new-user friendliness of VirtualBox more than makes up for it. But you're not stuck with whatever you do go with there are tools abound for converting disk images between the various formats. -- Avi _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list Peterboro@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
