Virtualbox comparison.

Posted 02-24-2012 at 09:01 AM by rich_c

I've been messing with Virtualbox a bit lately. I just thought I'd share my observations.

Windows Vista Business guest. - Took hours to install and many, many hours to apply all the updates! Tends to slow the host machine (Dell Optiplex 740, 4GB RAM, Mepis 11 64 bit.) to a crawl. Runs OK in itself...

Ubuntu 10.04 guest. - Installed and updated in 2 hours tops. Runs great and doesn't seem to impact the host machine's performance very much at all!

libLQ with slist funcs - A class inheritance example in C - Part 2

This was an older version of libLQ and the old makefile-creator. Both of these have been extensively reworked and expanded.

libLQ with slist funcs - A class inheritance example in C - Part 1

Posted 02-24-2012 at 06:44 AM by rainbowsally
Updated 04-09-2012 at 05:30 AM by rainbowsally (Better version available, same principles)

Note: this post was pretty obsolete and kind of complicated.

Here's a link to the newer makefile creator and libLQ that also has the slist (class inheritance in C) stuff.

Another user from a different forum asked me a question. I gave, what I though was, a good answer so I'm posting it here for all LQ to enjoy.

But what would I use to comb through

First program in x86_64 assembly!

Posted 02-23-2012 at 12:38 PM by hydraMax (Bits and Pixels)

I wrote my first program in x86_64 assembly, learning from the AMD and GAS manuals. It is a text-based implementation of the old sliding puzzle game Fifteen:

Requires GCC to compile and a 64-bit OS to run.
