Open Source Site of the Day -- Xen: OS Virtualization
VMWare is probably the pre-eminent hypervisor. Microsoft is
trying to catch up with their VM. At one point, you couldnt' get Linux based
guests to run (something that has now changed due to popular demand).
On the Open Source front, Xen appears to be doing well. And through contributions from both Intel
and AMD, unmodified guest operating systems such as MS Windows can be run within a Xen
environment. (Intel VT or AMD-V microprocessor capabilities required).
From an installation point of view, .bootstrap has an article Installing Xen
on Debian Etch 4.0. Russell Coker has a couple of how-to's on installing Xen, to which
I'll just reference through his Popular Posts page.
