Red Hat, Novell To Package Xen

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the brand-new-player dept.

robyannetta writes "Watch out VMware and Microsoft. Here comes Xen, an open-source virtualization for the Linux environment being pushed by Red Hat and Novell. Xen has also joined forces with leading Linux distributors, chip vendors and platform vendors to create a consortium that will more broadly enable open-source virtualization development and deployment." We've covered Xen before, but it's cool to see the momentum behind it growing, as more choice is a Good Thing.

    Well, since it's both Red Hat AND Novell, thats pretty much the kiss of death for Microsoft, isn't it?
