====== Xen ======

Xen ([[https://www.xenproject.org/]]) is a virtualization project that allows a single physical machine to run multiple //virtual servers//. Each virtual server thinks it owns an entire computer (kinda, there are ways around it).

The machine which **holds** the virtuals is commonly referred to as the **DOM0**, and the virtuals are commonly referred to as **DOMU**'s


I have included Xen under the //linux// menu since it was originally strongly oriented towards [[http://debian.org|Debian Linux]], though it can also be installed on various other unicies.
