  Description     : kvm in client/server environment

KVMCS (Kernel Virtual Machine in Client Server environment)

The KVMCS environment is ment for an education environment and is developed for
an internet cafe for senior citizens. In this internet cafe they give courses
and instructions on different operating systems. A lot of different operating
systems had to be available at the same time and the power of the (old)
computer systems were not sufficient for that purpose.

A client server environment is developed where the processing is done on a
server and the displays are situated on (thin) clients. A user can select an
operating system by logging in with the operatingsystemname (pe xp) and gets
the desktop of this os on his screen. After closing down all changes are
deleted.

The environment is designed for an arbitrary number of clients and os'es.
Limitations are server processing power and network bandwidth.


I am the upstream developer and the package is used on 3 locations (3 servers
and 14 clients). A package in debian will improve the quality and installation
from the standard repositories is much easier.
