qemu or virtualbox?
I need a centos 5.5 as a virtual guest on my running ubuntu 9 machine. I love qemu but since i don't have hardware virtualization in my system so i can't use kvm acceleration with qemu. My past experience with qemu without kvm is not good . What you recommend VirtualBox is good alternate solution?
Thanks

Virtualbox might be better, but with qemu the kernel does not have to be modded as I understand it.

You don't have to mod a kernel for Virtualbox. |

VirtualBox does come with kernel modules that need to be loaded before running any virtualization. |
