 |
|
Hi,
I would like to know if i will use Gentoo as a host on a laptop where i want to run multiple Windows and Linux desktop guests - would i have to install the XServer and a window manager like KDE or GNome on the Gentoo host or a bare minimalistic installation with the packages to support the hardware and the virtualization would suffice?
Thank you,
Cris Malinescu |

yes & yes.
Basically gentoo is fully virtual capable as a server without X or with any selection of WM.
