14.7. Your Moment of Xen

Xen is a developing virtual platform for x86 platforms. The virtual machine monitor (VMM) or hypervisor was developed in Cambridge, England, and has morphed into a company called XenSource. According to the XenSource site, currently Xen only supports some Linux and does not support any Windows virtual machines. But in the future the company says it will. Xen is an open source product licensed under the GNU General Public License terms, so it's free. Xen is gaining a lot of support from the industry, so it'd be smart to increase your understanding of this product. The recent release of SUSE 9.3 comes with the most current release of Xen built into it.
