It's open source, so anybody is welcome to add host support for Linux or any other OS. The windows host driver code is intentionally very portable and will be even more so once we resume work on the MacOS version. We try to avoid host-dependent designs but of course also want to achieve the best performance possible, so we'll probably end up with a fairly generic base implementation of most interfaces with some alternative implementations which are optimized for specific host OS versions. I don't know enough about KVM to list specific differences, the most user visible difference is the exact specification of the virtual hardware, which is identical between Xen and KXen, and eventually the option to use Xen's paravirtual drivers. christian > I guess the answer will be "that is not ready now", but some > information about future plan would be helpful. > > Thanks, > J > > >> christian >> > _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
