CentOS strikes again
If things are running smoothly, things might get really nasty. Today’s special: KVM on CentOS 5.4
My plan was giving KVM a shot for virtualizing a couple of machines. So I inserted the CentOS CD and did a network install, added KVM and Virt-Manager.

Virtual machines vs clock
November 23rd, 2009 by Stargazer
Virtual machines and their clocks can be quite nasty – at least if I am working with them. Maybe it is because it is impossible to kick against virtual machines? Are they that nasty because they know they are safe?

vmware Player
January 11th, 2007 by Stargazer
Today I have rediscovered the vmware player for me. The idea itself is pretty old school, but always nice to have.
The problem: Testing a livecd without a reboot to be able to continue working. A preconfigured VM does the trick as you just launch the player which will boot the iso. No CD wasted, no reboot – just work on.
