I assume you know how to login and logout from Linux system and one Linux system is available in your network. Since this tutorial is based on admin commands, you should have access to the system with root privilege. For connecting to Linux you need any Telnet/SSH client like PuTTY. If you don’t have one yet, download PuTTY from the following site.

Create a KVM-based virtual server in 3 steps

The Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is free, open source virtualization software for Linux based on the Intel VT-X and AMD-V hardware virtualization extensions and a modified version of QEMU (work is underway to get the required changes upstream). KVM—in the form of kvm.ko, a loadable kernel module that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and processor-specific modules kvm-intel.ko

Creating Quality Document Scans

While we can all dream about the world of paper being replaced with computers and electronic documents, we all know that is still only a dream.  In the course of doing my graduate studies, I have often needed to make copies of articles and books reserved in the library.  I've grown accustom to scanning these documents and archiving them with the rest of my course work, and in the process I've learned to make high quality scans, suitable for print

Applications using libvirt

From just the small amount of capabilities that I've demonstrated in this article, you can see the power that libvirt provides. And as you can expect, there are a number of applications that are being successfully built on libvirt. One of the interesting applications is virsh (demonstrated here), which is a virtualization shell. There's also virt-install, which can be used to provision new

Language bindings

The libvirt library was implemented in C (supporting C++) and includes direct support for Python. But it also supports a number of language bindings. Bindings have been implemented for Ruby, the Java™ language, Perl, and OCaml. Work has also been done for calling libvirt from C#. Libvirt supports the most popular system programming languages (C a
