Xen Hacker Interviewed
Drawoc Suomynona writes "The Xen virtual monitor is a new generation virtualization software that enable running multiple OSes at the same time with unprecedented level of performances. Manuel Bouyer was recently interviewed about his work porting Xen to the NetBSD operating system. The interview touches on why some consider Xen to be so good, how hard it is to integrate such a software package into an OS, and more."

That's right, real men use BSD.
Anyone know Xen compares to jails in, say, FreeBSD? I've managed to setup a jail before where you do a "make world DESTDIR=/jaildir" and then do a jail on that directory, which gives someone the appearance of their own entire operating system. Is Xen similar to this, but allowing for many different operating systems rather than just another instance of the same one?
Also, glad to see the BSD section is at least still around. I can't seem to get it to show up on the Sections list, regardless of how I set it up.
