Closed stevebovy closed 5 years ago

stevebovy commented 5 years ago

Will there be consideration given to add New Hardware devices? For example:

1) Network tun/tap devices 2) Android VM-Emulater devices (i.e. use native Linux vm technology??)

Thanks;

I mention this for two reasons

1) Android developers platform requires VM technology for test/debug, and looks for certain "devices"

There is another well known open source VM technology for IBM called Hercules :) Hercules is very useful for developing and testing Linux apps that run on IBM-Linux machines. Hercules uses tun/tap devices for networking. The windows version of herc is difficult to use and configure because of the lack of these tun/tap devices

Yes, thanks; I did figure it out, but I have some questions

I read that I should go to the other site for “new-features”, but the other site confusingly states that I should goto the git site

And round and round we go circular logic :)

Plus (what the heck) Yet-Another web-site with Yet-Another Login and Password ??????

Please save me from the stupid login password hell !!!
