  1. Re: on Running Xen · · Score: -1

    Haven't the kernel developers basically given xen the cold shoulder, preferring now to dedicate their efforts to kvm, the virtualization solution which is now part of the mainline kernel? The problem, from what I recall from reading some threads on the subject a while back was that xen needs to keep pace w/ kernel driver development work, which is an extra effort for the developers. It's easier for them with kvm since it's part of their dev tree. Right now I think Ubuntu is the only big distributer shipping kvm; Redhat et al are doing xen .. I think (corrections please). On that count, xen is doing well. But moving forward, it seems like they have to do a lot of extra work to track kernel development, which will be made harder by virtue of the fact that key kernel developers may not feel like devoting time to what they feel is a duplicate effort.
