I signed up today to do another TriLUG talk. This one’s on “open-source sandboxes.” In other words, ways to run one operating system inside another. I’ll be the featured speaker on February 10th and I’m really excited about it. It’s a fun topic!
Here’s my description of the talk:
Open-source sandboxes: Booting systems within systems
Stuck with a Windows desktop but want to run Linux? Like to run Windows under Linux? Or OS/2? How about on a Mac? Maybe different versions of Linux under Linux? While commercial products like VMWare can do this, open-source solutions exist which deserve a look. For our February meeting, Mark Turner will show how QEMU, CoLinux and other virtual-system solutions help bridge the operating-system worlds.
