Virtualization on Tiny Core Linux ?

[sachingpta]

Hi,

 

Am wondering - How to have VMWare Player or VirtualBox application running on smallest Tiny Core Linux (as host operating system and not virtualized guest) for running virtualized operating systems as well make use of x64 bit architecture and multi-core CPUs. If not possible which other "Thinnest OS" will support x64 Bit Multi-Core Virtualization with VMWare Player or VirtualBox ?

Why not run kvm or qemu with the linux kernel?

 

Why do you want vmware player or virtualbox?

Id use kvm instead of vmware or virtual box. its built into the kernel.

 

If you want a thin os to run a vm on, install debian or centos with kvm. Your think about 64mb of ram usage.

Will KVM able to execute VMWare and VirtualBox images already with me ?

depends on the image, you can normally convert.

 

Also what system are you running this on. id just run debian or centos. Ultra lighweight distros should really be used here. Esp since the 32bit only to save space, and most virtulaztion needs 64bit.
