That sounds very easy just being able to press scroll lock and then change to another OS, I think that is what you are saying? Could I run Windows while using Linux using KVM or should I use Xen? Which is faster? Is there a way to install either using yum? How do they work?
Hi, According to the answer from Dave, you may use KVM if you have two PCs, one with linux and the other with windows. But if you have only one PC, you will to go to XEN or VMWARE or QEMU, I have used the last two, and like VMWARE more, I have never tried XEN. regards, Guillermo.
