A variant of JanusVM called "JanusVM Live" is also available. This
boots from read-only CDROM ISO image and keeps all state in memory.
The included JanusVMLive.vmx for VMWare locks all VM pages in memory
so that no runtime information is paged out to swap. [0]

The janusvm.iso included in the Live release ZIP should work with
other virtual machines, like http://www.virtualbox.org/ and possibly
qemu. Feedback is appreciated, as we have not verified the networking
capabilities of these other vm's to ensure compatibility with JanusVM
VPN and transparent proxy support.
Enjoy!

0. DISCLAIMER on the VMWare page locking:
To our knowledge, this option only works using Windows host OSes.
We have only done a preliminary evaluation of VMWare's page locking
mechanism. While it appears to work as described, this is in no way a
thorough evaluation. Also note that applications on the host OS using
JanusVM may keep data on disk and in swap / page cache.
The VMWare options used to enforce memory resident operation are:
sched.mem.pshare.enable = "FALSE"
prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = "TRUE"
prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100"
mainMem.partialLazySave = "FALSE"
mainMem.partialLazyRestore = "FALSE"
mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE"
Any feedback on the efficacy of this configuration is also appreciated.
