So how does /g/ run virtual machines? I use qemu with aqemu as a graphical interface. The only thing I don't like about aqemu is the stupid side tabs that look like trash with my current font. It works as intended though. I'm installing PowerPC OS X for fun tonight.

qemu is an system emulator and not just a virtual machine

Thanks!, another thing, how you increase the video memory on the emulated machine? for example i select VESA and it shows only 16 MB, its possible to add more or i need to do GPU passtrought?
>>
>>61210463
qemu + kvm + libvirt, it's comfy
>>
>>61210482
Can someone explain the difference?

>>61210625
Support is kinda trash on Debian (which is what I use) but SPICE will solve that.

>>61210682
Basically qemu provides all sorts of options for hardware types, and the virtual machine is exactly what it sounds like, a virtual computer. A program like aqemu provides a nice graphical environment to set up VMs by clicking buttons instead of using terminal commands.
>>
>>61210749
Thanks for the response! Only other experience I have is VBOX and Hyper-V.

So like those two I mentioned which only allow x86 and x86-64 CPUs with whatever RAM your system has (I think VBox lets you choose DDR1/2/3), and virtual peripherals, but QEMU allows perhaps powerpc / ARM / ARM64, etc.? Is this getting closer to a definition by anecdote?
>>
>>61210823
Basically. I've only ever used SPARC, ARM, PowerPC, MIPS, and x86 but qemu supports a lot more.

Go for esx and vcenter from VMware. I find hyperv sketchy as fuck.

Intel NUC in a corner with ESXi installed. Best way to virtualize imo. Don't want to be limited to having a VM on my desktop or laptop.
>>
>>61212259
The true answer my bro also think using proxmox

Is virtual box any good? I feel like it has pretty shitty performance running win 7.

>>61212381
It's a pile of trash, use VMware.

VMware Player, or The Pirate Bay.

Hyper-V is pretty good these days
it's already installed on your pc
Works

Not as easy to use as vmware workstation tho
No support for USB devices by design (workarounds)

But yeah Vmware otherwise if you cant be bothered pirating it use Hyper v

I use Hyper V since it's the only fucking thing with proper system integration. When I turn off my system and turn it back on I don't want to have to wonder if all the fucking virtual machines started up properly.
Don't even get me started on VMWare's shit.
>hurdur vSphere
>use a fucking web browser and get cancer from the shitty fucking interface
>>
>>61212636
Jesus, how many VMs do you need?
>>
>>61212636
>actually using the vsphere web client
>not staying on 6.0 or lower
>>
>>61212641
Exactly. Take it from someone with 40+ virtual machines (not counting all the useless one-off shit that weren't used in over a year), Hyper V is simply the best. The only issue is some of the advanced functionality didn't make it into the GUI yet, but it's still better than Virtual Box and VMWare. For some fucked up reason when I use the "raw disk access" shit in Virtual Box it fucks itself and drops the connection in the VM (dur IO read error, don't have permission to attach, 9000 other fucking issues). I have disks in Hyper V that were set up and they run perfectly for months. The only caveat for it is it needs to be a local disk for attaching that way.

>>61212655
>using an old hypervisor
Enjoy having a guest compromise your host.
>>
>>61212697
Why DO you have 40+ virtual machines, is what I'm wondering about. Is it for development or testing or what?
>>
>>61212727
Linux C/Windows C# development, metasploit lab, RADIUS server, ZFS+Samba share, etc. I also (currently) manage a Hyper V cluster at work, there are 13 virtual machines on it that run various production servers. There are a lot of test servers and shit too, and a couple for remote access (OpenVPN server VM, a firewall VM for that, a SSH server VM, and client VMs on my laptop for connecting to those 2 server VMs).
>>
what's a good distro to install in hyper-v if I only have 512MB ram for the VM?
>>
>>61212331
is proxmox good on debian stable?
does it have webgui? or some network client?
>>
>>61212259
is ESXi free? And is still updated?

Emulator can emulate other architectures (or the same architecture it's running on) and create a virtual computer with that specific architecture. Like OP is running PowerPC MacOS on a x86 Intel CPU.

Virtual Machine, virtualization, is just the same computer you are running it on inside a window. It talks straight to the CPU.
>>
>>61213186
You can't pirate? Yes it's updated. It's VMwares main selling thing, I haven't heard of VMware going bankrupt.
>>
>>61211622
They do? You mean every 20 year old with a CDE theme used an UNIX workstation in the 80's? (That was obviously the point, but hey, you seem to be smarter.)

Seems kinda impossible.
>>
>>61211675
Sounds like an opinion. Can you provide rationalisation for your claim? Works gr8 for babies like me.
>>
>>61213186
Yeah, for a standalone host you can get an unlimited evaluation license. No vcenter with that though. Updates still work.
>>
>>61212331
How are you getting around having security updates without a subscription?
>>
>>61214155
Have you tried disabling 3D acceleration? I had similar problems in XP and linux in general, so I haven't bothered with it.
