It's not being dropped. The Xen support in EL5 is not going anywhere. The main issue as I understand it is that maintaining Xen is requiring more effort than expected because it has not been integrated into the linux kernel. Meanwhile KVM is already in the upstream kernel. It's not known yet what EL6 will have, but I think the indication from Fedora is that both Xen and KVM will remain supported: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Fedora8VirtQuickStart I could easily be wrong, though. KVM is certainly the wave of the future, but it's definitely not supported in EL5. I haven't played with it, but there is a KVM guide for CentOS 5: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/KVM _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
