RHEL and Fedora Virtualization Feature Parity
Robert Day wondered how the virtualization features of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 compared to Fedora 12.

Daniel Berrange explained "The KVM based virtualization in RHEL-5.4 is not nearly so far behind Fedora as you might think. The mgmt stack in RHEL-5.4 was rebased to be near parity with Fedora 11, and KVM in RHEL-5.4 is also pretty close to that using what's best described as a hybrid of kvm-83 and kvm-84."
