How can I tell if I have Intel VT or AMD-V?

With a recent enough Linux kernel, run the command:

egrep ‘^flags.*(vmx|svm)’ /proc/cpuinfo

If something shows up, you have VT. You can also check the processor model name (in `/proc/cpuinfo`) in the vendor’s web site.

/proc/cpuinfo only shows virtualization capabilities starting with Linux 2.6.15 (Intel) and Linux 2.6.16 (AMD). Use the `uname -r` command to query your kernel version.
