Hi, if you are not afraid of the command line I would recommend KVM. I use it for my virtualization needs. When you don't want the sdl window you may use the -vnc switch. -daemonize switch is great for running in the backgroud. the -balloon switch is great for memory savings, I recommend KSM in yo

I think it requires HVM ( egrep '^flags.*(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo ) from the CPU. So if kvm doesn't work you may use your VMs with qemu. Qemu/kvm supports VMware disc format so you might be able to use your old VMs without much effort. Petri Rosenström On Sat, Aug 28, 2010 at 11:21 AM, Konstant
