Explore Xen virtualization with Xen Live CD  

Posted by Daniela Mehler

Dedoimedo posted an article introducing Xen Live CD, which allows testing a preconfigured Xen virtualization setup on top of Debian 5 Lenny in a live session. Say, you liked my Xen introduction article and you are now looking to test its functionality. But you may be afraid of the long and complex configuration setup, which in the end, might not yield desirable results. Well, that's a justified concern. Luckily, there's a very simple solution. You can download and run Xen from a live CD! Based on Debian 5, it's a demonstration tool that allows users to roadtest Xen in a volatile live session before deciding whether they want or need Xen. Sounds fantastic. So let's see what this thing can do.
