29 1. Yeah ... it's in the kernel I have (2.6.21) but there's some infrastructure
30 as well -- you need qemu and there are some tools.

34 3. I am a VMware Workstation owner -- just about ready to collect my free
35 upgrade to Workstation 6. I've played around with Xen a little, but I've never
36 even heard of openvz. Xen is another possibility -- it can use the "svm"
37 feature and it's already in Portage.
