Floss Virtual Machine
- Inicie sesión ou rexístrese para enviar comentarios
I wonder if one virtual machine (software) can be recommended over the others? I want to use it to create a couple of VM for e.g. banking, internet searches, communication with authorities/public institutions etc. It should be working (well) on e.g. a librebooted x200 and provide me with total/maximum separation from my host computer.
Which can you recommend?
QEMU!
Thanks. I've started to read about QEMU from your advices.
For me the best way to learn this is to just try. I would like just one clarification, please:
I'm a bit puzzled about the references to qemu + KVM or Xen and from my initial readings I don't learn much.
anyway, can I - being sort of an itiot - work with qemu alone or do I need KVM or Xen? Or what can you recommend?
I prefer GNOME Boxes, personally. It's really simple to use.
Sorry, please elaborate: To work with qemu or on its own?
Boxes is just a frontend for things like QEMU.
> gnome boxes will take care of the dependencies for you
That's unfortunately not quite true. qemu-system-x86 is only recommended by the gnome-boxes package, so depending on the package manager used, it may not be installed automatically. In that case, Boxes will show a cryptic error (I forget what it is) when you try to create a new box. So do make sure you install both gnome-boxes and qemu-system-x86.
I thought asking would make it easy :-)
If I get it right, the recommendation that all (!) agree on is qemu as a backend. Is that correct?
And so far there seems to be three recommendations for a frontend: KVM, GnomeBOXES and Xen. I include the latter because it's on qemu's list.
Any experiences with Xen?
