http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paravirtualization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization Major difference: Real virtualization gives you complete virtual hardware (except for the cpu, which is not emulated but passed through to the virtual machine). No modifications to the guest OS are needed. Paravirtualization needs a modificated guest OS. Xen can bypass that modification when used with Intel VT CPUs, but well, havent seen one in real life :-) Danny _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
