Workbench Linux distro is a workhorse for software developers
09-18-2008 01:00 AM
If you develop applications using FOSS tools, Workbench is an ideal distro for you. In addition to packing a gamut of development tools, the distro also bundles everyday apps and eye candy, so you can use it on your desktop as well.
What is your favorite Linux distro?
and possibly why?
Personally, I have Fedora 3 on my computer. I have used Ubuntu and Slackware, too. But I think I liked Ubuntu more, maybe because of its speed and easy installation of packages. (192 Replies)

adt-virt-xenlvm(1) Linux Programmer's Manual adt-virt-xenlvm(1)NAME
adt-virt-xenlvm - autopkgtest virtualisation server using Xen and LVM
SYNOPSYS
adt-virt-xenlvm [options] -- [adt-xenlvm options]
DESCRIPTION
adt-virt-xenlvm provides an autopkgtest virtualisation server using a Xen virtual machine and LVM snapshots. It adapts the raw functional-
ity provided by the adt-xenlvm-* tools for use by autopkgtest.
Normally adt-virt-xenlvm will be invoked by adt-run.
adt-virt-xenlvm uses adt-xenlvm-with-testbed and adt-xenlvm-on-testbed. The testbed must have previously been set up with adt-xenlvm-set-
up.
Neither adt-virt-xenlvm nor adt-xenlvm-with-testbed do any locking; it is the the caller's responsibility not to attempt concurrent use of
any particular testbed.
OPTIONS --distro=distro
Specifies a different distro (ie, the use of a different testbed).
--nominum=nominum
Specifies a different nominum (ie, the use of a different testbed).
--userv
Specifies that the adt-xenlvm tools should not be run directly, but rather via userv. The calling user must be permitted to use
userv root adt-xenlvm-testbed. In the default configuration, this means being a member of the AdtXenUs group.
-- --adt-xenlvm-option=adt-xenlvm-value
Following the first occurrence of -- on the adt-virt-xenlvm commandline, any of the values in the adt-xenlvm configuration may be
set in the usual way. The arguments are simply passed to adt-virt-xenlvm.
See /usr/share/doc/autopkgtest-xenlvm/README.gz for full details of adt-xenlvm.
-- -Dvarname=value
If --userv was specified, options following the first -- on the adt-virt-xenlvm commandline are passed as option arguments to userv.
These should normally be user-defined variable settings using -D which are expected by the autopkgtest-xenlvm/userv-target script.
Currently only distro and nominum are expected, and these can be set using adt-virt-xenlvm's own options.
-d | --debug
Enables debugging output. Probably not hugely interesting.
INPUT, OUTPUT AND EXIT STATUS
The behaviour of adt-virt-xenlvm is as described by the AutomatedTesting virtualisation regime specification.
