Dear Rich, Thanks for the mentioning KVM. If this stands for the Kernel Virtual |
| 2 |
Machine, I'd expect high performance. Though graphics' speed is not a point, |
| 3 |
I do need some graphics, got to check it. Clonezilla is another |
| 4 |
good news for me. |
| 5 |
However, I wonder how stable (crash free) KVM could be with proprietary, |
| 6 |
ie. NVidia graphics drivers. |

Dear Zhu, Thank you for the link. I'm going to check this out. Bit |
| 9 |
afraid, as they |
| 10 |
seem volatile and little hackish workarounds. I hope one day they the VMWare |
| 11 |
pkgs get stabilized -contrary to the obvious difficulties. As for |
| 12 |
speed, few years |
| 13 |
back I remember WS took little more than 10 % CPU load when the WinXP |
| 14 |
guest was idle. Do you mean VB would cost more than that? |

Dear Duncan, MS-based guest is a good point, thanks for pointing this out. |

I expected VM-s are just HW emus, thus OS is indifferent. Nice to know that |
| 18 |
KVM is one more nonproprietary option. |
