A little bit of a rant here, watch out.
Getting tired of some "progress" here...
And false advertising in the repos.
KVM-doesn't work with the Atom (or plenty of other things)
Same for Xen
VMWare Player is a joke (can't create an appliance?!)
VMWare Server is a dead end, the modules need patching and support ends in just over a year
VirtualBox doesn't play nice with Lucid guests (That's the version in the repos!), and the 16-bit support is known to be crud (if you use DOS in it, it will crash somewhere, with errors abou invalid opcodes &c. that work on most real hardware)
Qemu doesn't support kqemu any more?!?!
So qemu-kvm is a joke...they lied about "Without hardware support, you can use qemu emulation instead."
Honestly, has whoever perpetrated that build EVER used plain Qemu on a system like that?
Either they do no testing before advertising, or their idea of "use" is more ridiculous than claims that Vista will "run" on 512 MB of RAM and an 800 Mhz CPU.
I THINK that's all...
Figured this shouldn't go in the Lucid forum.
