Please don't take this the wrong way; I don't want to insult your intelligence, you probably already know this, and I'm just inserting random (
self aggrandizing
) noise into this thread.
You are aware that it is possible to run quite a few linux desktops on the tablets without using a virtual machine? You can run a second desktop in a chroot using a nested X server (I use Xephyr). My
Easy Debian project
allows you to put a different Linux distro (in this case, Debian) into an image file and then chroot into it and run applications from within it. A chroot, however, is just a virtual
environment
, not a virtual
machine
, so you don't need compatible libraries, but you do have to have a compatible kernel...
Is there a specific reason that you wish to go the route of full virtualization? Do you want a different kernel?
