Unless you have fully embraced the virtualization movement, you probably have more than one machine in your home or office, particularly if you run more than one operating system, and you probably have more than one keyboard and mouse on you desk. If you would like to regain some desk space without having to purchase a KVM switch, x2x may be the solution. Simply put, x2x takes advantage of the X Window System's ability to run a display over a TCP/IP network. In this case, you are not running a display as much as you are taking charge of another display's mouse and keyboard.
Hi every body
Umm. I have 4 physical servers and i need to make the 1 machine from 4 server by KVM like Vmware ESX ?
Do KVM can consolidate physical servers to 1 machine ? If KVM can do it. can i find manual to do it from where

Hello everybody,
I'm looking for a switch KVM for my HP C3000 and my windows workstation.
Both are in full usb, keyboard and mouse.
I've already bought several switch, but sometimes the c3000 doesn't reconized the keyboard, or when i switch from windows to hp-ux, the hp-ux session log... (4 Replies)

SYSTEMD-DETECT-VIRT(1) systemd-detect-virt SYSTEMD-DETECT-VIRT(1)NAME
systemd-detect-virt - Detect execution in a virtualized environment
SYNOPSIS
systemd-detect-virt [OPTIONS...]
DESCRIPTION
systemd-detect-virt detects execution in a virtualized environment. It identifies the virtualization technology and can distinguish full
machine virtualization from container virtualization. systemd-detect-virt exits with a return value of 0 (success) if a virtualization
technology is detected, and non-zero (error) otherwise. By default, any type of virtualization is detected, and the options --container and
--vm can be used to limit what types of virtualization are detected.
When executed without --quiet will print a short identifier for the detected virtualization technology. The following technologies are
currently identified:
Table 1. Known virtualization technologies (both VM, i.e. full hardware virtualization, and container, i.e. shared kernel virtualization)

If multiple virtualization solutions are used, only the "innermost" is detected and identified. That means if both machine and container
virtualization are used in conjunction, only the latter will be identified (unless --vm is passed).
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-c, --container
Only detects container virtualization (i.e. shared kernel virtualization).
-v, --vm
Only detects hardware virtualization).
-r, --chroot
Detect whether invoked in a chroot(2) environment. In this mode, no output is written, but the return value indicates whether the
process was invoked in a chroot() environment or not.
--private-users
Detect whether invoked in a user namespace. In this mode, no output is written, but the return value indicates whether the process was
invoked inside of a user namespace or not. See user_namespaces(7) for more information.
-q, --quiet
Suppress output of the virtualization technology identifier.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
EXIT STATUS
If a virtualization technology is detected, 0 is returned, a non-zero code otherwise.
