Virtual Iron launches VMware competitor
,----[ Quote ]
| Based on the open-source Xen hypervisor, which manages hardware
| resources, Virtual Iron 3.0 requires Intel or AMD's processor-based
| virtualisation support to create the necessary abstraction layer
| between physical hardware and virtual resources - although the company
| said support for the AMD technology is "experimental".
|
| It currently supports only two OSes, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and
| SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, both 32 and 64-bit versions.

XenSource appears to have come a little too close to proprietary vendors (as
did Mozilla), which is why these forks are arguably a good 'safety net'.
