Thanks for the URL, but man.. I'd recommend that page for anyone who wants to be absolutely confused, spun in circles on edge and run at warp speed on an upside down tilt-a-whirl..backwards. Serious information overload and all of it a good bit over my head. I did find the meanings referenced though. Thanks for that. I didn't come away knowing how to tell if my hardware has any kind of virtualization stuff either.. other than a mention that svm could be grepped for in linux at /proc/cpuinfo, but only applies to AMD I think. I'm running an older P4 wannabe Celeron 3.06 Ghz, 2gb ram. Still no idea of it has any virtualization tools. But I am upgrading... in the sweet bye and bye. So is KVM a lot faster, or better utilizes resources or what .. over Vbox? _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
