Cyberus Technology has opened the backend code for VirtualBox KVM, enabling the use of the KVM hypervisor built into the Linux kernel in the VirtualBox virtualization system instead of the vboxdrv kernel module provided with VirtualBox. The backend allows virtual machines to be run by the KVM hypervisor while fully maintaining the traditional management model and interface of VirtualBox. Existing virtual machine configurations created for VirtualBox can be launched in KVM. The code […]
The release of the Chrome OS 121 operating system, based on the Linux kernel, with an upstart init system, ebuild/portage build tools, open components, and the Chrome 121 web browser, is now available. The user environment of Chrome OS is limited to the web browser, and instead of standard applications, web applications are used; however, Chrome OS features a full-fledged multi-window interface, desktop, and taskbar.
