[CoLoCo] virtualization in hardy: kvm

[Michael "TheZorch" Haney]

Speaking of Qemu, by iGoogle page has a gadget for a site dedicated to 
portable software ... software that you don't install and will run on 
any machine from a USB drive.  They have a portable version of Qemu (as 
well as a portable Firefox, Pidgin, OpenOffice, etc. etc.).  Sad thing 
is they are only Windoze versions.
