windows :O ) with opensuse as guest.<br>
But the biggest problem i see is the hdd speed. maby not enough
cpu resources. assigned 2-3 cores.<br>
But it where a bit more laggy. but linux is not the best choice
for opensim anyway, so it maby could be mono to.<br>

If you're looking to run your own hypervisor I'd suggest something
called Proxmox. Its open source / linux based and allows you to
create both openvz and kvm containers via a nifty web interface.

<div>I've used OpenSimulator in a variety of virtual
machines, from KVM to OpenVZ to VirtualBox to EC2. In
general performance is less than when running in bare
hardware but everything usually works. I've seen some
issues with timer accuracy in some virtual machines in the
past and had to compile a custom linux kernel to get
around it, but I think recent virtualization technology
has probably fixed this. Some technologies like OpenVZ I
found very difficult to work with in general and I prefer
to stick with the KVM style approach where the host OS
kernel is set up to allow a "closer to the metal"
virtualization.<br>
<br>
</div>
I think virtual machines are good for lower performance
installations where fewer avatars and scripts are expected.
and bare metal should be used where higher performance is
needed.<br>
<br>
</div>
Often hosting companies will oversell and you may get a lot
less performance than you would expect from their advertised
specifications. If performance is poor with one company, try
others. The cheapest deal is usually far from the best.<br>

a mono issue rather than EC2.<br>

Other than that, it appears to work just fine as long as
you give it sufficient CPU resources, as is the case when
running on bare metal.

Hi all<br>
<br>
I wad wondering if anyone had much experience with
running OpenSim under a<br>
virtual machine? I'm interested in finding out what
sort of performance<br>
can be expected from running in that sort of
environment and how far it<br>
can be pushed without too many issues.<br>
