Desktop Linux Virtualization Options
,----[ Quote ]
| For Linux users, it would need to be made clear that USB support does take
| some configuration before it is ready to roll out of the box. Outside of this
| concern, VirtualBox does provide the kind of environment that leaves many
| people wondering why anyone even bothers with costly alternatives.
|
| For my money...or lack there of, VirtualBox remains best suited for SoHo or
| home users as it is just not stable enough for serious enterprise use, in my
| honest opinion. It's close, but seeing new issues cropping up with each new
| release leaves me thinking that most IT departments would rather see VMware
| solutions in place over troubleshooting the latest broken function caused by
| a VirtualBox update.

Where are all the Virtual Desktops?
,----[ Quote ]
| With KVM being an open-source hypervisor (it’s included in the Linux kernel),
| the real opportunity for revenue is SolidICE. We’ve been hearing about the
| promise of virtual desktops housed in data centers for quite some time now,
| but how real is the market?
