I'm please to announce the availability of virt-what 1.2, a tool that
lets you detect if you are running in a virtual machine (and what sort
of virtual machine).

This version expands the range of VMs detected, adding:

  - VirtualBox (thanks Laurent Léonard)
  - UML (Laurent Léonard)
  - VMWare (supported before, now verified by me)

(In addition we already support Xen, KVM, Hyper-V and
OpenVZ/Virtuozzo).

The home page is here:

Source is available from:

Documentation is here:

Please read the important note in the manual page before you decide to
use this program.

Rich.
