I won't help with the laptops. I just want to mention that a CPU with hardware virtualization support doesn't guarantee that Xen will be able to use full virtualization. I use Xen on a server with two dual-core Xeons 5150 (2.66 GHz) and a Supermicro X7DAE motherboard. Both the CPU and the BIOS support virtualization. Virtual machines using paravirtualization work OK there but the creation of a virtual machine using full virtualization failed. (I used the openSUSE 10.2 iso file) If you don't find the right hardware then you may consider Win4Lin Pro Desktop (http://www.win4lin.com/) instead. -- A.M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
