Linux Gains Two New Virtualization Solutions

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the almost-as-good-as-the-real-thing dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The upcoming 2.6.23 kernel has gained two new virtualization solutions. According to KernelTrap, both Xen and lguest have been merged into the mainline kernel. These two virtualization solutions join the already merged KVM, offering Linux multiple ways to run multiple virtual machines each running their own OS."

    Wouldn't it be enough with one? Or maybe they could have merged all the features into one VM.

    I think this will confuse users. Choice is good, yes, but 3 VMs in the kernel? Sounds like overkill.
