Re: [gentoo-user] Virtualization where to go from VMWare-Server-1?

I think it requires HVM ( egrep '^flags.*(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo ) from the CPU. So if kvm doesn't work you may use your VMs with qemu. Qemu/kvm supports VMware disc format so you might be able to use your old VMs without much effort. Petri Rosenström On Sat, Aug 28, 2
