[Trilug-announce] Xen: April Meeting

[Joseph Tate]

The April meeting of the Triangle Linux Users Group will be held at 7:00
PM on Thursday April 13, 2006 at Red Hat.  Directions are available from
our website at http://www.trilug.org/.

Matt Frye will present an overview of the Xen project, Xen's relative 
strengths and weaknesses, and the basics of installation and configuration.

Xen is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) for x86-compatible computers. Xen 
can securely execute multiple virtual machines, each running its own OS, 
on a single physical system with close-to-native performance.  Learn
