That wouldn't make sense in the Linux universe. For example, the Shell constantly uses fork/exec to run new processes, which inherit a lot of context (such as standard I/O) from their parent, i.e. the Shell itself. If they were all VMs it couldn't do this, at least without serious distortion. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
