  A moment of Xen: Virtualize Linux to test your apps
Xen is a virtualization technology available for the Linux™; kernel that lets you enclose and test new upgrades as if running them in the existing environment but without the worries of disturbing the original system.
Xen is a paravirtualizing VMM (Virtual Machine Monitor), meaning that the operating system is modified in select areas to make calls into the hypervisor, whereas the applications that run on that operating system are unmodified.
The source code for Xen is available from the project page (see the Resources section for the link), but if you're already running a Linux distribution, you may be able to get Xen from a package update or installation.

 Xen (Half-Life) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, given that Xen is comprised of low mass asteroids, it is surprising that there is any appreciable gravitational pull at all, let alone a sufficiently strong pull to retain the breathable atmosphere encountered there.
The Xen asteroids are home to a wide variety of different plant and animal species, forming a complex ecosystem.
These are produced by another Xen resident, the Gonarch, a towering 6 m-high four-legged giant that continuously gives birth to infant headcrabs.

Xen is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation.
Manuel Bouyer has continued his work on getting NetBSD to work on Version 3 of the Xen virtual machine monitor over the past few weeks and NetBSD should now be functional on Xen3 [unprivileged domains] with block and network devices.

 XenSource Products - Xen 3.0   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Xen's live relocation capability, combined with its extraordinary performance, have led analysts to pronounce it the first virtualization technology that is capable of being deployed in the heart of the data-center, bringing the benefits of server consolidation and increased utilization to the vast majority of servers in the enterprise.
Xen is a key enabler in enterprises' aspirations towards a utility-based computing model, in which any server can run any operating system and any application, at any time, with dynamic load balancing of resources both within each server, between the guests, and across servers.
Xen is, and always will be, open sourced, uniting the industry and the Xen ecosystem to speed the adoption of virtualization in the enterprise.

Xen is an x86 virtual machine monitor that allows multiple commodity operating systems, such as Linux and MS Windows, to share conventional hardware in a safe and resource-managed fashion.
Porting an OS to run on Xen is similar to porting the OS to a new hardware platform; however, the process is simplified because the paravirtual machine architecture is very similar to the underlying native hardware.

 Xen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Xen is a free virtual machine monitor for x86, Intel Itanium and PowerPC architectures that enables the execution of multiple guest operating systems on the same computer hardware.
Xen uses a form of virtualization known as paravirtualization wherein the guest Operating System is modified to use a special hypercall ABI instead of using certain architectural features.
An example of the latter configuration is the inclusion of Xen in Novell's SLES 10 Linux distribution, or Red Hat's RHEL 5, or Sun Microsystems' Solaris 10.

Xen is described by some as "the hypothetical extension of C#." Others describe Xen as an amalgamation of Microsoft's Common Language Runtime (CLR), XML and SQL programming languages.
With Xen, Microsoft is working to show that it's possible to feature both SQL tables and XML documents as "first order citizen(s) in an object-oriented language," the paper continues.

 Programming with Circles, Triangles and Rectangles
Although Xen by design doesn't support the entirety of the full XML stack, we believe that our type system and language extensions are rich enough to support many potential scenarios.
As Xen is statically typed, the type of the embedded expression must be of an "allowable" type (see section The Xen validation rules for more details).
In this paper we have argued that by generalizing the type system and language syntax, it is possible for a modern object-oriented (circles) language to provide first-class support for manipulating both relational (rectangles) and hierarchical data (triangles) in a sound and statically typed manner.

 LWN: A look at Xen
Xen is a "hypervisor," or virtual machine monitor, which can execute several virtual machines on a single piece of hardware.
Xen requires that a OS be ported to run on Xen's hypervisor, rather than attempting to emulate an x86 virtual machine completely as VMware Workstation does.
Also, Xen runs only on x86 systems with 686 processors or better, though ports to x86_64 and other processors are in progress.
