Runs under Linux. Artem recently made updates to it at my request to allow use of the Linux bridge and tunnel devices to make a self-contained Xwindows accessible instance running on Linux. It's now like having a portable Alpha! I've also successfully clustered my 17" HP ENvy running AlphaVM-free. Had to use wired-ehternet. Bridge and tunnel would not play nicely with the wireless ethernet Now if only it didnt appear to constantly use 100% CPU. ;) AlphaVM-free appears to use less than 20% on my Envy. Are you running the latest build 1.2.2??? Try 1.1.11. That's what I've been running and it's not consuming much CPU at all. No matter the version top/htop always shows 100% CPU.
