Re: [opensuse] KVM-Xen - a new breakthrough in Linux virtualization
Just curious. Why do you see this as an advantage over using the Xen hypervisor? Not arguing, I'm just not seeing why it is a big deal. 1. Stability. Xen kernels are unstable, and they tend to crash-on-boot on some hardware. However after it boots, it works pretty stable. 2. Management I don't like Xen management tools, I dislike the way I control the VMs and the RAM. KVM/VMware/VirtualBox/Qemu are much more natural in terms of guest control.
