Now that I have explained virtualization, the question remains of why would anyone use it?

Everywhere you turn, IT professionals are talking about virtualization as the next big wave in technology. People banter around the terms Virtualization, Virtual PC, VMware, and others. But while IT people debate virtualizing computers, many people don't understand the concept, or why it's even needed.

I had to install my compiler and make with the commands:

# apt-get install gcc
# apt-get install make

I had to install a current kernel with the command:

# apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

I recently converted my system from SuSE 10.1 to OpenSuSE 10.2. When I upgraded VMware to v5.5.2, I was no longer able to change which ISO file I was using for Knoppix (that's how I discovered it at any rate). Turns out the issue was a little larger than that as something broke the virtual file system (VFS). From the VMware web site (
