OSNews recently ran a story on UNIX virtualization functionality which was a bit shallow on technical details. HP’s Christophe de Dinechin (who had already begun working on virtualization at HP when we interviewed him several years ago, but couldn’t talk about it then) contacted us to tell us he’d gone into more technical detail on his blog here and here saying, “They are a bit long, and probably boring to a general audience, but since your readers are generally more interested in OS technology than the average population, I thought I’d bring these to your attention.”
