This HOWTO is for testing purposes only. The RHEL4 Xen paravirtualized kernels are ready, but there is no installer support yet. This temporary HOWTO describes how to turn a fully virtualized RHEL4 guest into a paravirt Xen guest. Proper installation of RHEL4 guests will be available in Anaconda sometime around the end of April 2007. |

In This Chapter
Xen is a powerful new virtualization system that enables you to run
multiple operating systems on one computer. If you have ever used
virtualization software such as VMware or Virtual PC, you have an idea how
Xen works, except that it is faster, more powerful and, of course,
completely free.
This chapter contains an introduction to the world of Xen: how it differs
from normal virtualization solutions, how you can install it on your
Fedora machine, and how to get it configured to best suit your
environment.

This is a fair, and often-heard question.
On the other side, there are virtualization fanatics, who run four virtual machines on their desktop and feel the same about virtualization as they felt about the color monitor or the sound card years ago - they can never go back to computing without it, but they can’t quite explain why somebody else should care about virtualization.
This article aims to describe why some people want virtualization, and why some other people absolutely need virtualization.
