The user interface is really well tuned for a simple desktop user, and as UI's go, I think it has some really good context-aware help. I [...]

The inaccuracy for system time of VMs has been well documented. This behavior has been labeled time drift. Because of the time drift while executing, it is recommended to use NTP. Use LINUX to set up an NTP server within the network of the physical machine(s) being used. This will allow the VMs to sync [...]

I am writing this as myself (stev) and not representing any company or entity. I used and promoted using a virtualized environment back in 2000.

These were more or less the words of wisdom that a well respected blog-vet offered as I was contemplating my initial post. Who am I? I started with Intel in 1984 as a software engineer and have since held a variety of technical, marketing, and program management roles. In my current role, I get to [...]

Last night, I decided to upgrade to the latest build of "Nevada", which is the project that OpenSolaris is based on. Build 87 (or SNV87 to the cognoscenti) has some cool features present, like improvements to memset(), memmove() and memcpy() to use the latest Intel processor instructions and some other good stuff. And [...]
