Novell patches Suse Linux kernel for VMware efficiency

Novell Monday released updates to its Suse Linux kernel designed to make the operating system more efficient when running on top of VMware environments. The upgrade to the Suse Linux Enterprise kernel lets it take advantage of paravirtualization techniques so it runs more efficiently as a guest operating system. Specifically, Novell has built in support for VMware's Virtual Machine Interface (VMI)."The patch to the kernel provides increased performance and better interoperability," says Carlos Montero-Luque, vice president of product management for open platform solutions at Novell. The kernel patch is available in SLES (Suse Linux Enterprise Server) 10 Service Pack 2, which can be downloaded.     View: The full story @ InfoWorld Read full story...
