Re: gsoc 2011 : about virtio drivers
Hello Aggelos,
thank you for your answer and the details. I had also notices the two

ask some questions about it soon :) But I keep an eye on the virtio
project too. I'm willing to learn as much as possible, so each project
seems interesting!

Thank you for the information :)
