Idea #12460: Virtual OS inside a single hardware

Written by deepak raj the 23 Aug 08 at 10:25. Category: Server. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
Why dont we have a program in the Ubuntu server through which we can create and maintain a number of virtual OS.
The different advantage of the program may be,
1) Testing professionals: for testing in different OS environments
2) IT professionals: they could create different OS in a single system and could provide to the required user remotely. This considerably reduces the number of individual hardware and also saves lot of power.

There could be an immense advandage over other OS if this particular application or program is combined with Ubuntu.

Virtual Box, VMWare Server, Xen and KVM.

And those are just the free ones.

Just in case conundrum's answer wasn't clear:

Ubuntu already *has* virtual server offerings. They just aren't installed by default. Go into aptitude and search for them. (I'm assuming aptitude because you're using Ubuntu server; if you prefer a different installer, by all means use it.)
