[OCLUG-Tech] Kqemu ?
I am considering Qemu + kqemu to run a couple of virtual Linux
machines. The host and virtual machines will be Debian/Etch. Does
anyone have any experience with Qemu and kqemu? Did you run into any
problems? What is the performance like? How does it compare to Xen?
I have used Xen in the past. Unfortunately the Debian/Etch Xen Linux
kernels require PAE support which my hardware does not appear to
have. I would rather not compile and manage my own kernel images or
rely on 3rd party kernels. Similarly OpenVZ looks good but there are
no Debian kernels.
I considered VServer but it looks messy. The howtos I have read all
seem more complicated then the Qemu + kqemu howtos. Also there seems
to be a few quirks, particularly with the networking. If I am wrong
please convince me. VServer is probably better as my host machine
does not have much ram.
