Appendix A Installing the KVM platform
KVM overview
The kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) is developed in the x86-based Linux system. The KVM provides
full virtualization based on hardware technologies, such as Intel VT and AMD V. KVM is integrated in
major Linux releases after Linux 2.6.20 and has become one of the leading virtual machine monitors.
You can create a new virtual device and install the VFW1000 after you install the KVM platform. For
more information about installing the VFW1000 on the KVM platform, see "
