2 | AristotlePagaltzis | 1 | An OperatingSystem (often [Linux] or [Solaris]) set up in a VirtualMachine or something akin to it, allowing to run a multitude of [VirtualPrivateServer]s on a single computer. This is a very useful technique for [ISP]s and other 3rd party server providers, which can consolidate many servers onto BigIron, making their hardware as well as their customers' servers easier to manage. |

15 | * [Overview|http://www.xminc.com/mt/archives/000254.html] is a blog entry with a short description and links to Colinux, QEMU, XEN & UML | ||
16 | * [How Xen is Different|http://xen.terrabox.com/index.php/How%20is%20Xen%20different%3F] is a page on Xen's Unofficial Wiki. Probably slightly bias towards Xen. Interesting because it lists pros and cons of xen, UML, virtuosso, vmware and vserver. Bias means it is from a xen fan's POV. | ||
17 | * [Xen Perfomance|http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/performance.html] is again found on Xen's site. Xen's performance is compared with native linux,UML, and VMWare. | ||
18 | * [Why VServer instead of UML or Xen|http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Linux2.6/index.php?page=FSM_Article]: Goes over briefly why you would choose VServer over UML or Xen. |
