| you look at what virtualization does, and what the lower half of an operating
| system does - it's one in the same. That's the part that interfaces to the
| hardware. Right now a RHEL offering of some sort is used in almost all of the
| other hypervisors as the hardware enablement layer, so it really is the next
| generation OS.
