PLUG:

This month we have David Mair and Jim Petersen giving an introduction and demonstration of KVM & QEMU. KVM provides Linux in-kernel virtualization that supports many guest platforms via the userspace QEMU program. Supported guest platforms include Linux and Windows. Using KVM/QEMU is quite a manual task so Jim and David will demonstrate and provide some insight into their operation and their own workarounds to make life with them easier.

About David:

I have been a professional programmer for 21 years on a variety of platforms: DOS; Windows; NetWare; and, more recently, Linux. I have worked as a programmer at Novell for 11 years and currently fix bugs on a variety of Linux packages. I also maintain a number of personal projects.

About Jim:

I have been in technical support for 17 years, supporting DOS, Windows, NetWare, Linux, as well as WordPerfect Products, and Microsoft Office. I have been with Novell for 13 years. I currently provide escalation support for SUSE Linux. In spare moments I work on personal web and desktop based projects.

If you have any interest in virtualization, you do not want to miss this presentation. See you all there!
