Novell To Ship Xen in Next Version of Suse
daria42 writes "The next version of SuSE, to be shipped in mid-April, will ship with the Xen virtualization software, letting users run multiple versions of the operating system simultaneously, the company said on Thursday. The article says that Red Hat has also begun adding Xen support to Fedora."
Simple question. ("normal users").
Sorry, who?
You take 10 machines. Install 10 copies of Linux or NetBSD on each, using Xen to run them simultaneously. Then you make 10 beowulf clusters out of it.
Alright, I should just have RTFA:
Ahh... yes... It's all so very clear to me now.
Looking forward to be able to do a number of useful tasks and wield new abilities.
Belief is the currency of delusion.
It starts with an X, which makes it inherently cooler.
500GB of disk, 5TB of transfer, $5.95/mo
A good use for this sort of thing is letting normal users onto a pc without making a mess of it, think:
"Xen and the art of computer maintanance"
So how long do you think before they perfect running NetWare under Xen?

Zen... Xen... Zen... Xen... Zen... Xen...
Novell Marketing, the biggest bunch of punching bags in the history of the technology industry, has gotta be asking themselves, "Why us?"
See, there's a vast uber-wing conspiracy among the internautti to waste the time of hard working productive people like yourself, who have so little time during the day for keeping up to date that they don't have time to read headlines, only stories, and thus when you read the story directly and find you have wasted your time, and then post on slashdot to complain about it, the internautti cackle with glee at another success story.
The answer, of course, is to read the headlines first, not read the stories just because they are available, and not play the internautti's game. Eventually, if such a radical notion spreads far and wide, or even short and narrow, the internautti will be disillusioned and find some other amusement.

Yes, but won't the impedance mismatch between the flow and the state potentially result in a performance penalty? I would think that one of the most significant properties of this environment would be that the system resource flow rate is constant in a steady-state flow system. This means there would be no accumulation of resources within any component of the system.
when will people start pronouncing SuSE correctly in the workplace?
I'm sure I'll hear Xen called "X-men" at some point.
