Work has always been one of the most important reason to start this journey and now it is showing some return as I applied my recent learning on kvm to install some components of the SW I am working with on an SD card. I had an empty 16GB SD card and the custom ubuntu from my work system happily installed on it. I have even found a nice GUI called aqemu with which I could send ctl-alt-f1 to switch to tty1 and start deployment by sending commands via the clipboard copied from the bring-up guide. I got stuck when the 10GB bulk release had to be pulled in that clearly did not fit into the qcow2 image due to the overall 16GB size of the SD card where it resides. So I freed up the 64GB SDXC card from my video camera by shoveling its entire content on my Synology. I have also realised after some unsuccessful struggle to install 32 bit Windows desktop client of Global Protect company VPN with wine that openconnect support Global Protect protocol perfectly for my company VPN so I can ditch the remote desktop to the Windows Mini PC I used so far to get access to the bring-up guide. This also opens the possibility to explore the option to install the other custom ubuntu image on the Mini PC and learn more about the networking aspect of the virtualised world. While this Mini PC only has an Atom processor but that has two cores with 2 threads on each and have hardware support for VT-x virtualization so have some hope that the company SW can be installed on it. More about it later.
