Red Hat announced Nov. 7 the availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1, with integrated virtualization. In claims that Red Hat representatives were well aware are extremely broad reaching, they said the new release will provides the most compelling platform for customers and software developers ever, with its industry-leading virtualization capabilities complementing Red Hat's newly announced Linux Automation strategy. It offers the industry's broadest deployment ecosystem, covering stand-alone systems, virtualized systems, appliances and Web-scale 'cloud' computing environments.

I doubt whether I'll use the virtualisation stuff in Red Hat until KVM matures. The tools are still behind VMware's, Xen has a habit of screwing up networking so you can't run VMware and Xen side-by-side (arghhhh, Xen's custom kernels!), I don't have hardware that supports running of Windows yet and I have some pre-built VMware machines that I still have to use.
All in all, I'm simply non-plused by built-in virtualisation in both the major distributions because I'm waiting for something that does it properly.
