Oracle's Virtualbox vs Red Hat's Virtual Machine Manager
I’ve been using Virtualbox for a long time to run virtual machines when I want to check out other distros before I install them on one of my computers or to review them. It’s MOSTLY open source, although some of the key parts like USB 2.0 are free to use, but not open source. So now that Red Hat’s Virtual Machine Manager is starting to look pretty useful I figured I should check it out. That way I could be using a FLOSS virtual machine program - assuming the features were good enough to match Oracle’s offerings. Also, Virtualbox requires a kernel module that has to be recompiled every time a new kernel is installed and that’s annoying. I figured I’d test out both programs by installed a VM of Centos.
