>- Real VM you can snapshot and transfer to another computer running VirtualBox, even on another OS, as VBox supports other operating systems.
I just migrated my home setup to UnRAID. Among the things I was looking forward to was an improved VM experience; I had been happy with VirtualBox, but KVM in UnRAID is a "real Type 1 hypervisor" so had to be better, amirite fellas? Boy, was I shocked when I saw how poor the VM functionality is compared to VirtualBox.
(Yes, I know that UnRAID's GUI does not contain all the functionality `virsh` has (I've heard that the next major release will improve on this). None of that changes the fact that KVM snapshots don't survive beyond reboots, making it impossible to do what I took for granted from back in the VMware days: Rebooting the server and expecting that my VMs will gracefully and automatically save, restart, and continue on.)
