[QCLUG] Partitioning Hard Drive

[DMichael Burns]

---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment
I cannot remember if it was in Linux Format or Linux Pro Magazine (I am
thinking it is the former instead of the later), but here a couple issues
back, the mag did a review of several different virtualization progs for
Linux as the host - including Xen.  Also, I know that in issue 98 of of
Linux Format Magazine, there is a tutorial for installing Virtual Box on an
Ubuntu machine.  I will dig that issue up and try to get you a copy of the
article (if I can).

Lastly, in the May issue of Linux Pro Magazine, there is an article
on virtualization software.  The issue comes out on April 19, but you don't
have to wait til then to get a copy of the article.  Download the pdf here:

PS.  I haven't had any luck with any of the virtualization programs out
there, but then again, I haven't really spent the time necessary to get them
up and running.
