Dear,
We released VMKNOPPIX. It was called Xenoppix but renamed to VMKNOPPIX
because it became a collection of Virtual Machine Softwares.
http://unit.aist.go.jp/itri/knoppix/index-en.html
VMKNOPPIX includes Xen3.0.4(DomainU & HVM Domain), KVM14, VirtualBox, GPLed
KQEMU, and normal QEMU.
There are many techniques of Virtual Machine, para-virtualization,
full-virtualization with
virtualization instruction(IntelVT or AMD-V), dynamic translation etc. The
VM softwares runs
with OS images offered by some sites(For instance OSZoo's QEMU images).Have
fun with the techniques!
OSZoo's QEMU images
http://www.oszoo.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Operating_System_Images
VMKNOPPIX includes "OS Circular" environment.
OS Circular enables to boot OSes on Xen with a globalized virtual disk
"HTTP-FUSE CLOOP".
VMKNOPPIX includes benchmark sotwares. We compared the results. (See below)
Pi calculation for CPU benchmark http://h2np.net/pi/pi_quick_start.tar.gz
dbench for IO benchmark
tbench for Network benchmark
Xengine for Graphic Benchmark
VMKNOPPIX includes xenoprifle to take profile of HVM Domain OS.
VMKNOPPIX is optimized by LCAT for fast CD boot.

============================================================================*
*** Virtual Machine Uages
------------------------------------------------------------
* Xen
Boot with the first option "KNOPPIX/Xen3.0.4-0" of GRUB.
To run DomainU with KNOPPPIX.
# knoppixU
To run HVM Domain with KNOPPPIX on IntelVT or AMD-V.
# knoppixHVM
Caution) Add "nofirewire" kernel option at GRUB Menu for Intel MAC.
------------------------------------------------------------
* OS Circular
Boot with the first option "KNOPPIX/Xen3.0.4-0" of GRUB on IntelVT or AMD-V.
# pump -i eth0
# /etc/inint.d/xend start
# httpfuse-hvm.sh
Selection Menu will be appeared. Select a near site.
Contents Menu will be appeared. Select your favorite image.
The OS will be appeared. Current Debian Etch has accounts, "root/http-fuse" or
"http-fuse/http-fuse".
Caution) Add "nofirewire" kernel option at GRUB Menu for Intel MAC.
Caution) The console must be wider than 80x24to run httpfuse-hvm.sh, because
"dialog" requires wide console. If the console is small, the message
"httpstoraged is ready ..." will continue.
The technical detail was presented Virtualization Miniconf at LinuxConfAu07.

Slide PDF http://unit.aist.go.jp/itri/knoppix/20070118-LCA-HTTP-FUSE.pdf
------------------------------------------------------------
* VirtualBox
Boot with the second option "KNOPPIX(normal kernel)" on GRUB.
# modprobe vboxdrv
# VBoxSVC &
# VirtualBox
After that, setup VM environment interactively. The CD-Drive is setup at the
main menu after Interactive setup.
------------------------------------------------------------
* kqemu/KVM/QEMU
Boot with the second option "KNOPPIX(normal kernel)" on GRUB.
Script "qemu-knoppix.sh" prepares network environment, shared memory for
KQEMU, and drivers for KVM or KQEMU.
The priority is as follows.
1) If kvm drivers effective, kvm runs.
2) If kqemu is effective, kqemu runs.
3) If kvm and kqemu aren't available, qemu runs.
"qemu-knoppix.sh" aslo accepts the follwing options.
-no-kvm : disable KVM kernel module usage
-no-kqemu : disable KQEMU kernel module usage
-no-module: disable all kernel module usage
For examples, the following command runs kqemu.
# qemu-knoppix.sh -no-kvm
============================================================================
*** Benchmarks
* pi calculation
# time /opt/pi_quick_start/pi 3000000
* dbench (Read /usr/share/dbench.client.txt)
# dbench 1
* tbench (Read /usr/share/dbench.client.txt via network)
On Host
# tbench_srv
On Guest
# tbench -t 60 1 "HostIP. Example 10.0.2.2 on VirtualBox,KVM, KQEMU, QEMU"
* xengine
# xengine
