[ale] SUN VM

[Jeff Lightner]

Now you've done it - you made me look back at notes.

 

Found a link for the presentation I mentioned:

http://www.prefetch.net/presentations/SolarisVirtualization_Presentation
.pdf

 

The site to discuss Solaris Zones:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zones/

 

My impression was that it wasn't just "jails" but actual virtual
machines.   The "sparse zones" have the shared base I was speaking of so
I guess you might consider those "jails" of a type but the non-sparse
are full system installs that don't share base.   I haven't used it.
Didn't see anything on the site indicating it was allowing Windoze yet
but didn't look very hard either.

Solaris Zones is what you are referring to. Think of it as a BSD jail on
steroids and meth. No Windows, period. Very capable technology, without
a doubt, but not in the same category as VMWare.
