Red Hat Wants Xen In Linux Kernel

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the ground-control-to-kernel-tom dept.

DIY News writes "Red Hat is aggressively pushing to get Xen virtualization technology included in the Linux kernel as quickly as possible. This move comes as Microsoft is pushing its own virtualization products and recently relaxed some of its licensing requirements around Windows Server 2003 to facilitate more pervasive adoption and use of those technologies."
