ESXi installs on a physical machine separately. I mean it's not a software which installs on an OS like a Linux machine. Am I right?
I need something like ESXi server to be installed on a CentOS 5 physical machine.
What's your suggestion?
ESXi is a Hypervisor which installs directly onto hardware. Its almost like a mini OS if you like, so you can't install that on Linux. Software which will provide virtualization on top on the OS will be the likes of KVM, Xen or VirtualBox which would be better suited for you (sounds like it anyway)

Is it possible to enable GPU acceleration on virtual machine, using Windows 10 Pro as host and Ubuntu 20.04 as virtual machine? I have tried Hyper-V and it didn't worked, propably because it is only for Windows Server 16. Unfortunately, I can't make a dualbot installation.
Does anyone have any proven way to use GPU and Linux, having only windows installed?
The host is windows(xp and win7). The guest is a Android which build with x86 ABI by myselves.
I know if QEMU work with intel HAXM like google official emulator, it can support VT-x. But the big problem is HAXM NOT support AMD. And KVM support VT-x/AMD-v, but KVM can't use on Windows. So are there any other ways to let windows QEMU support VT-x/AMD-v like VirtualBox and VMware?
ps. In abstractive, for QEMU supporting CPU hardware virtualization, the function role of HAXM is just like KVM, is my understanding right?
On linux, KVM can support VT-x/AMD-v.
But on windows, I don't know.
I am developing on a Windows machine but I have to test it on a PowerPC running QNX. I don't have constant access to the PowerPC, and I just can use it for some test. I was wondering if I could debug my code on a QNX virtual machine on QEMU emulating the PowerPC.
I have found the QEMU binaries for Windows here but I can not find the QNX VM for QEMU. Has anyone done this before?
You don't want your target platform to be PPC all the time. Build your software for x86, test it and recompile it for PPC when you have access to the device. Just make sure your code is portable.
Use VMWare Player or Workstation to install QNX and configure your tools to use the virtual machine for build and debug. That will speed up your development process dramatically!
We have a 64bit virtual machine (CentOS) that we'd like to run on 64bit host-machine (may be running under any OS), but that host-machine doesn't support hardware virtualization, which, you know, should be for running 64bit virtual machines in it.
I tried VirtualBox and VMware Player, but they both have this issue with non-hardware-virtualization processor. I thought maybe another virtualization system may help, like OpenVZ or XEN or KVM? What do you think?
Thanks in advance!
Qemu http://www.qemu.org/ can virtualise architectures without hardware support (even ARM, MIPS, etc). However, it will probably be a lot slower than using qemu-kvm with virtualisation hardware.
it seems that it's possible to run a web server on a USB stick using XAMPP, but would this work on Windows, Mac and Linux? I want to run a PHP/MySQL demo site which can be used cross platform. Any advice appreciated!
XAMPP is a windows compiled application
Unless you use an emulator you might struggle to get it working on linux or mac
Consider a diffrent portable webserver for each OS
XAMPP is a cross platform (hence the 'X'), Apache MySQL PHP and Perl application. While the application runs on Windows, Linux and Mac, each installation is a different set of binary files for the given platform. While there is a Windows version that can run a from a relative path on a USB stick; no such version exists for Mac or Linux at this time. The installation location for the later operating systems must be on the system's hard drive at /Applications/XAMPP on Mac.
