Linux 3.0 Will Have Full Xen Support

Posted by timothy on from the complex-mellow-calm dept.

GPLHost-Thomas writes "The very last components that were needed to run Xen as a dom0 have finally reached kernel.org. The Xen block backend was one major feature missing from 2.6.39 dom0 support, and it's now included. Posts on the Xen blog, at Oracle and at Citrix celebrate this achievement."

    ... is 16 cores and 32 GB of RAM, and I can recompile the Kernel on Linux, encode an H.264 video on OS X, serve files via Apache HTTPD from OpenBSD, and watch streaming porn videos on Windows all simultaneously on the same machine!

      If you're gonna stream porn on the Windows guest, instead of something useful like original Star Craft/Brood War, keep your clean guest image for reloads. You're better off streaming the porn on a Linux guest, since the embedded malware is much less likely to run.
