Jump to: navigation, search

Lguest is a Linux kernel x86 virtualization hypervisor, introduced in kernel version 2.6.23 (released 09-October-2007). It is not a full virtualization solution; instead it operates the Linux kernel with lguest support. Installation is as easy as running modprobe lg and then run Documentation/lguest/lguest to create a new guest.[1] Lguest is a developing kernel module that in about 5000 lines offers a virtual Linux machine.[2]

Lguest is maintained by Rusty Russell.
