[coLinux-devel] VM everywhere

[Digital I. Inc. <ok...@di...>]

 
 
Hi.

Yeah! finally, coLinux runs on Linux.
and if it comes supending function ( is planned to be in the near future),
They can share a same suspending image. good. good. good...

Then we can run same VM on many places, without shutting down.
It migrates lively. very cool, dont you?

   - On the road, you run your VM on your Windows laptop.
   - when you are home, you migrate your VM to your Linux box lively.
   - when you go, you supend whole VM image to one USB stick.
     you can attach it to KIOSK, net cafe,,,,.
     everywhere you go, you can resume your VM.
     if this comes, definition of "computer" for avarage people would be changed.
     they think USB stick is a computer, and PC is just a drive for it.
   - if coLinux combine with XEN, you can run your VM on virtual hosting service.
     if your mobile phone has a functionality like VNC, you can use your VM
     from everywhere, without carrying a laptop PC.

how about this idea?
and one question:

   is it possible to combile coLinux with XEN?
   or is it possible to run coLinux more than ring0?

note: XEN is Cambridge University's research and similar to coLinux.
      it runs multiple VMs on ring1. each VM is isolated completely.
