KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). KVM is divided into the KVM-KMOD package (kernel modules) and the QEMU-KVM package (slightly modified QEMU) which are both available as separate Slackbuilds. QEMU-KVM is a generic and open source virtualizer. QEMU-KVM achieves near native performances by leveraging the KVM-KMOD modules and executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU-KVM can virtualize many system guest types (e.g. alpha, arm, i386, ppc, x86_64, s390, sparc). Slackware provides pre-built KVM-KMOD modules or you can build different versions with the KVM-KMOD SlackBuild. QEMU-KVM requires a system group and uses 'kvm' as the default. If you want to use a different group like 'users' then run the script like this: KVMGROUP=users sh qemu-kvm.SlackBuild After package installation, make sure you have the KVMGROUP present on your system and that all desired users are members of that group. Don't forget to load the KVM-INTEL or KVM-AMD module depending on your processor.
