We purchased a new server to handle hosting sites, email, clients, etc. Dual quad core Xeon, 16GB RAM and lots of drive space. This machine was too much to waste on a single installation of Linux so I decided it was time to learn virtualization and <a href="http://www.xensource.com/">Xen</a> in particular.</p> <p>Xen is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor">hypervisor</a> that makes it possible to run multiple operating systems on one machine as though it were multiple machines. Basically it allows you to make one computer look like a whole bunch of computers.
