Star Ubuntu Picks KVM Over Xen for virtualization
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 8th Feb 2008 22:49 UTC
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu Heading in a different direction from its main rivals, Ubuntu Linux will use KVM as its primary virtualization software. Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Novell's Suse Linux Enterprise Server both use the Xen virtualization software, a 'hypervisor' layer that lets multiple operating systems run on the same computer. In contrast, the KVM software runs on top of a version of Linux, the 'host' operating system that provides a foundation for other 'guest' operating systems to run in a virtual mode.

SELinux is excellent however a lot of people turn it off, and it is default turned on.

Learning how to work with it is not that difficult.
