So what are the alternatives?

Well XEN is supposed to be the next big thing, except I don’t have a processor that supports Intel Virtual Technology –  or whatever it’s called.  So I can’t virtualise without running a modified OS.

Run VMWare and XEN I hear you say;  I considered it, but I can’t build the kernel monitor modules while XEn is running.

Getting Xen runnning was an interesting exercise, I think it’s time to move onto QEMU and see how I go there.
