>From someone knowledgeable about Xen and z/VM (not me!): "While Xen's architecture and interfaces are portable, Xen's current implementation supports all forms of x86 32 and 64. The Xen Project has discussed the possibility of Itanium and Power support. No discussion of System z has occurred, likely because z/VM and PRSM are such successful and mature virtualization implementations on System z." ...phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
