I haven't used it myself, but xVM is in the OpenSolaris releases as far as I can tell (as are zones/containers).

very interesting, but, is hard to believe, when we try to download Citrix Xenserver 5 Express Edition (Location = Mexico), the Citrix portal indicates that there are law export restrictions (it is hard to believe, because Mexico is not in the US List of “forbidden ” countries

Andy,

Thanks. I completely forgot about Sun xVM Server for some reason. But
is it publically free now, or does it still require a Sun developer
program registration?
