Christoph Doerbeck of BLU and Red Hat has offered to do some virtualization demos that he did with BLU last month.
That sounds really cool.
His proposed announcement blurb is below.
I have copy edited it, fleshed it out, and propose the below. If you want, I can sent it out, or you can, or Jim can. But I do think we should get notice out ASAP. Please advise on if you want me to send it or not. Thanks. :) What : Virtualization on Linux Who : Christoph Doerbeck, BLU, Red Hat Where: Martha's Exchange, 185 Main Street, Nashua, NH Date : Thursday 19 April 2007 Time : 6:00 PM for dinner, 7:30 PM for presentation For the month of April, MerriLUG is proud to host Christoph Doerbeck, who will be speaking on machine virtualization on Linux. A live demo of the Xen-based virtualization features in RHEL 5 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Version 5) is planned. About the Presentation ---------------------- During the past few years, machine virtualization has emerged as a key technology in the high-tech industry. Virtualization creates "virtual machines" In this session, Christoph will speak on: * What problems virtualization can solve * A high-level overview of various virtualization models * Review open-source implementations of said models * Cover hardware technologies found in modern CPUs which aid virtualization * What to look for when purchasing hardware for virtualization He will demonstrates the capabilities of virtualization found in RHEL5. Time permitting, he will even show us how to install Windows XP as a virtualized guest.
