I recently started playing with the cloud services that atlantic.net is providing which include FreeBSD 10.0.

Continuing from my last post on installing KVM on CentOS 7, we'll look into installing a non-linux Operating System on CentOS 7 inside KVM. In this example I'll install FreeBSD 10.
Before we install any guest we need to get the list of supported guests - to get that list type …
Now that CentOS 7 is installed and has a static IP address, I'll go ahead and install KVM. First you'll want to check if your processor/motherboard has the necessary extensions:
egrep -i 'vmx|svm' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo | sort | uniq
Output:

In this case I want it to have the IP 192.168.2.100 …
So I was curious to try out CentOS 7 on my old Gateway GT5662 desktop that's lying around gathering dust.
Some more specs on the Gateway desktop:
