NOVELL said it is incorporating support for the VMware Virtual Machine Interface (VMI) into the Suse Linux Enterprise kernel.

The firm has apparently been beavering away together with VMwarers to optimise Suse Linux Enterprise for the virtualisation platform.

VMware Virtual Machine Interface (VMI), permits communication between the guest operating system and hypervisor to simplify the task of virtualisation.

The goal is to make Suse Linux Enterprise Server a more efficient guest operating system when running on VMI-compliant hypervisors.

Parag Patel, vice president, Alliances at VMware said, "Performance is an important attribute for customers when virtualising their Linux systems. Working with Novell brings the benefits of virtualisation such as reduced costs, improved operational efficiencies and faster performance, to customers running SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP2."

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
