It looks like I was just able to install KVM virtualization on Centos
5.4 on my cherry red dual booting Gateway (Acer) netbook (LT3114u). It
has a 64 bit AMD Athlon L110 processor. Because it has an 11.6 inch
screen some people consider it a small laptop with no DVD player. I'll
have to try setting up an XP virtualized client to see how well it
works.
