Gentoo Virtualization Project
1.
Project Description
With the various virtualization solutions are also tools available to
manage more than one kind of virtual machine. Furthermore it is
possible to share certain knowledge on how to setup and administer
such systems. This project exists as a general virtualization project
to maintain common packages, to collect documentation and to give the
user a general overview what's available on all Gentoo platforms.
This includes (combination of) the following techniques:
KVM, Qemu, Lguest, Xen, VMWare, VirtualBox, vServer, OpenVZ,
Linux Containers, Solaris Zones, FreeBSD Jails
2.
Project Goals
The current goal is to bring all stakeholders together and to define
the next steps. Furthermore, mailinglist, irc-channel, mail-alias
have to be created. Shortly after defining how the different
sub-projects should interact, a public announcement has to be made.
