Here is a quick way to find out and check if your hardware, cpu supports virtualization in [easyazon_link asin=”111821854X” locale=”US” new_window=”default” nofollow=”default” tag=”wn0d5-20″ add_to_cart=”default” cloaking=”default” localization=”default” popups=”default”] Linux [/easyazon_link]. Simply open terminal and run this command:
su egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo
If you see vmx or svm in the output under flags section, then your hardware (CPU) supports the virtualization.

As you can see in my output there is vmx so I am good to go 🙂 and can install for example [easyazon_link asin=”0137142978″ locale=”US” new_window=”default” nofollow=”default” tag=”wn0d5-20″ add_to_cart=”default” cloaking=”default” localization=”default” popups=”default”] KVM [/easyazon_link] on my [easyazon_link asin=”0596003439″ locale=”US” new_window=”default” nofollow=”default” tag=”wn0d5-20″ add_to_cart=”default” cloaking=”default” localization=”default” popups=”default”] Linux [/easyazon_link] box.
