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."

    No use should need to know, or care about this sort of thing.
