Refer to [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/Xen] for more information about Xen. = Types of Virtualization = - Under Fedora Core 6 using Xen 3.0.2, both paravirtualization and full virtualization can be implemented. Full virtualization requires a VT-capable processor. Paravirtualization does not require special hardware, but does require the guest OS to be modified. To learn more about how to configure and use Xen, refer to [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC6]. + Under Fedora * using Xen 3.0.2, both paravirtualization and full virtualization can be implemented.

Other guests have not been tested. With paravirtualization, however, users can expect reasonable success running any Linux guest OS that was built for Xen 3.0.2. With full virtualization using VT hardware, users can expect reasonable success with a larger variety of operating systems, including some proprietary operating systems. + The Fedora 6 development team has tested Xen with Fedora Core 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Beta1 guests.

With full virtualization using VT hardware, users can expect reasonable success with a larger variety of operating systems, including some proprietary operating systems. = Changes to the Xen Packages = - In Fedora Core 6 a single kernel supports both the host and the guest operating systems. In previous versions, there was one kernel, `kernel-xenU`, for the host or hypervisor and a separate kernel, `kernel-xen0`, for the guests. In Fedora Core 6 the `kernel-xen` package is the only kernel needed. + In Fedora a single kernel supports both the host and the guest operating systems.

Both the GUI installer and the guest operating system's graphical environment can be accessed from `virt-manager` without the need for VNC. @@ -27, +27 @@ * Extended RFB protocol handler.
