Currently yes, as I understand it the virtinst library will have PXE
support in a release soon (at least in F7/F8?), and at that point we can
do fullvirt. Right now, since fullvirt installs require a disk image
for provisioning (they can't just be fed a kernel+initrd), we can only
do paravirt Xen. However, KVM does allow this currently, so there
we are doing hardware. We should have something for Xen soon.
OK, in that case I'll just run paravirtualised machines in the mean
time. I'm sure the performance is supposed to be very similar between
paravirt + hardware virt - can anyone confirm?
Paravirtualization should be higher performance than full
virtualization. Hardware virtualization is faster than software CPU
emulation, which is probably what you're thinking of.
