RH already included KVM in RHEL 5.4, and will of course continue to
include, sell, and support it with RHEL 5.5 and 5.6. Ubuntu has
included KVM even earlier. Novell either includes or will include it
soon. In fact, a Linux distro would have to work hard to *not* include
it, since it's part of the upstream kernel. Xen---isn't and will never
be.

Cheers,
