I've been using QEMU on, nearly, a daily basis for the last few months. Last |
| 29 |
I checked, I believe they're on track for a v1.0 release in November or |
| 30 |
December. I, honestly, haven't had many problems with unexpected segfaults |
| 31 |
on either Gentoo or Ubuntu, so I can't give any advice for that. As for the |
| 32 |
speed issue, have you tried building KVM into the kernel or at least as a |
| 33 |
mod? |
