Yep, probably good to start with the xVM chapter of the Solaris Express System administration guide, http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2450/gefwp?l=en&q=xVM&a=view as well as some of the xVM documentation at: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/ xVM is a server-oriented technology - you may find VirtualBox a little easier to get started with, but choosing xVM vs. VirtualBox depends on your expected usage. http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads hope this helps? cheers, tim
