Cool Features. Link to heading

  1. Minimal - vm-mgr is cli based, meaning it uses as little resources as possible!
  2. Can run VM’s with less than 64MB ram. - Some other VM managers set the min memory for a VM to 64MB!
  3. Can run VM’s with more threads. - Some other VM managers set the max threads to what the host has.
  4. It uses the terminal. - Makes the terminal even more powerful.
  5. BSD support - vm-mgr plans to add BSD support!
