VM states for ubuntu integration

Hi,

I would like to have more information about vms:

- is the amd64 version working ? are the images compatible ? are the
sources files compatible ?
- is it possible to compile the vm for powerpc on linux ?


Thanks

I don't know about this.

The images are independetn of platform. You need only a image, and
each VM for each Platform you use (win, unix, mac etc..)

O_O The sources always are compatible.

On this website, it seems there are special images for amd64:

Thank you

But i think this is for the VM not for the image.

No, I think there are 64 bit images because everything would now be
using 64 bits instead of 32 (not surprisingly).  As I recall, you can of
course make a 64 bit image out of a 32 bit image using a 64 bit
SystemTracer but that's probably not something you'd want to do during
an ubuntu install...

Definitely not.  Don't worry about the 64 bit images, just stick with the
normal 32 bit images, which are fully portable across all hardware platforms.

The 64 bit system tracer does not work on little-endian machines (Intel)
and AFIK actual 64 bit images are not being actively used or maintained
at the moment.
