"This patch implements a driver supporting User Mode Linux guests. User mode
linux is a kind of paravirtualized kernel which runs on a plain Linux host.
It requires no elevated privileges at all, except for some of the network
integration. It is a pretty straightforward thing to invoke, so I figured
it would be easy to write a driver to support it. I was right :-)"...

RHEL and Fedora Virtualization Feature Parity

Robert Day wondered how the virtualization features[1] of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 compared to Fedora 12.

Daniel Berrange explained[2] "The KVM based virtualization in RHEL-5.4 is not nearly so far behind Fedora as you might think. The Package-x-generic-16.pnglibvirt 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."
