If you want x86 virtualization you should use qemu-kvm. Some distros have called it just "kvm" in the past. /usr/bin/qemu is the binary that is built from qemu.git. If you want to emulate other architectures (e.g. ARM) or run on non-x86 hosts then you should use qemu. http://blog.vmsplice.net/2011/03/should-i-use-qemu-or-kvm.html Stefan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
