VMWare to VirtualBox Migration

Last week I switched from VMware to VirtualBox at home. Why? Well, hack value mostly and I also wanted to learn more about VirtualBox having never used it before.

Bottom line, for home use it suits me very nicely and is far easier to get installed and running when compared to VMware Server which almost always required patching. The VirtualBox and Guest Additions (think VMWare Tools) installers both worked without a hitch. I even migrated my existing VMware Linux guests to VirtualBox, again everything went smoothly and my existing .vmdk disks worked just fine.

QEMU How-To Wiki Thingy

Adam Tricket got a few people interested in QEMU at the HantsLUG meeting on Saturday 3rd September 2005. Having recently discovered the wonders of QEMU myself I couldn’t help but get involved in the conversation. Me and my big mouth! I somehow managed to lumber myself with the job of writing a Wiki page about QEMU for the HantsLUG website. The page is more or less useful now and you can read it here…
