The Virtues of Virtualization
,----[ Quote ]
| I've gotten some flack from a few of my
| readers over on Desktop Linux Reviews for
| using virtualization software to run Linux
| distros. Some people feel that
| virtualization is "cheating" or that it
| somehow it warps the review.
|
| [...]
|
| Once you start playing with distros, you may
| become what is called a distro-hopper. They
| love playing with various Linux distros, and
| jump from one to the next, always looking
| for that special distro that will rock their
| world once and for all.

Standardized virtualization environments preferred, survey says
,----[ Quote ]
| If you have some combination of Windows, Red
| Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise
| Server, Solaris and Oracle in your data
| center and you follow our virtualization
| selection recommendations, your environment
| will support multiple virtualization
| software platforms. Each platform has its
| own set of virtualization management tools,
| which creates licensing and maintenance
| complexity.

Will KVM KO Xen?
,----[ Quote ]
| Those looking to get their hands on KVM need look no further than the Linux
| kernel itself, of which KVM is part. This makes vendor compatibility quite
| straightforward: All ISVs that are certified for RHEL are also certified for
| deployment on KVM.

Red Hat makes KVM its Linux virtualization of choice
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite Red Hatâs surprising announcement last week that it would be
| partnering with Microsoft on virtualization, on February 23rd, Red Hatâs
| announced that it would be switching its virtualization strategy from a mix
| of virtualization programs, including the Microsoft-friendly Xen, to focusing
| on Linuxâs baked-in KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine)
|
| KVM, as Red Hat CTO Brian Stevens admitted during a press call, is still a
| work in progress. But, Stevens assured the audience, by working with IBM and
| Intel, Red Hat will be able to deliver its full Red Hat Virtualization
| portfolio within the next 12-months. The first fruits of this switch will
| appear in RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) 5.4, which is due out in August
| 2009.

KVM virtualisation in Red Hat Linux next year
,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat will be in a position to offer Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM), the open
| source virtualisation it garnered with the acquisition of Qumranet, in the
| first half of 2009.
|
| Asked by CBR when Red Hat will be able to offer the KVM technology as part of
| Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the firmâs president and CEO Jim Whitehurst said it
| is âhighly likelyâ that it would be during calendar 2009 but would not be
| drawn further.
