I have only been working with VMware ESX/Fusion and VirtualBox so far so this is pretty much new territory for me. Since KVM seems to take a different approach I understand that it is dependent on the CPU's support for either Intel VT or AMD-V. Is this correct? Today I installed RHEL 6 on a Dell PowerEdge 2850 which, according to /proc/cpuinfo, does not have vmx/VT support. The only other hardware I have at home is an iMac (first aluminium model from 2007, 2 GHz) and a MacBook Pro (also Core 2 Duo). There are different reports on wether their CPUs have VT and if VMware Fusion is able to pass it through to VM. I understand that running KVM inside Fusion would probably be very slow but I guess that it would be sufficient for playing and learning. Is there any way I can run KVM with the hardware/OS I have now. It seems that even the cheapest hardware configuration I could buy would be at least $200 and I don't want to spend that much on hardware for just playing around... Thanks for your help!
