This looks really cool, going to try this tonight hopefully. It is a vmware like program that is free =), and faster by what there benchmark show.

Only problem is that the OS has to be ported to Xen inorder to work. It doesn't seem to be a true x86 virtual machine.

I think it is/will be a better solution then vmware ($$), or bochs, IMOO. I haven't had any success in getting vmware or bochs to install/work, I haven't tried to hard to find a solution.

It would be a better solution per cost, if all you wanted was to run linux on linux. but I would use it inorder to do cross platform development, and a virtual pc solution that requires the OS to be ported, isn't really much of a virtual pc. It will basically run linux, Plan9, and a few BSD's. No windows, beos, or others, or any closed source OS because the owner would have to port that. And we all know that's not going to happen.

Isn't UML the preferred way to do that?

Have you tried to set UML up? =)
I really liked VMware, but didn't seem to be very fast. I'm interested in trying out this Xen software. I'd like to be able to use linux test environments without having to reboot.

Have you tried to just chroot into another one?

I'd also like to experiment with multiple kernels as well. I've used a chroot environment to install debian from knoppix, but in a test environment I'd like to use some different kernels as well.

Checkout: http://www.qemu.org
works great with linux-on-linux, and is a full VM so other OS's will work too.
more like bochs, but faster and easier...
