What is the relationship between a guest operating system and a host operating system in a system like VMware?What factors need to be considered in choosing the host operating system?
A guest operating system provides its services by mapping them onto the functionality provided by the host operating system.A key issue that needs to be considered in choosing the host operating system is whether it is sufficiently general in terms of its system-call interface in order to be able to support the functionality associated with the guest operating system.
