Maybe I'll have another go. I'm afraid the docs > leave a lot to be desired. VirtualBox is quite nice. On a CentOS installation I find it as fast as KVM. (However, on FedoraForums someone said he found KVM far faster, so this might be an O/S thing, a his hardware and my hardware thing, or something else.) As for docs, yes, they're outdated. I have a page that will eventually be going into the CentOS wiki, albeit somewhat modified, which is a bit more up to date, at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/centoskvm.html As for Vbox if you used bridged networking, I have another page covering that. It's covered rather well in their docs (save for wireless, which I cover). http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/ If you do try it, right now download the source one, not the rpm. The rpm isn't working with F9--it's looking for an older library--hrrm, might be libcrypto.6.so, but at any rate, the source code one will install. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Angelus: I wanna torture you.
