My CPU does support virtualisation (Core 2 Duo T7200).<br />

I tried following the article you linked to, veedar, but when I get to the &quot;enable kernel/hardware acceleration&quot; checkbox, it was grayed out. &nbsp;I proceeded anyway, and got to a sort of virtual machine. &nbsp;When this machine tried to restart, I got an error, which I will try to post later today (I'm in windows as I type this)

I am trying to figure out how to get Vista to run as a Xen Guest from within Fedora 7. &nbsp;I am very new to linux, but am quite familiar with windows. &nbsp;I have a dual-boot system set up with Vista 32-bit and Fedora 7 64-bit as the two OS's I have set up. &nbsp;I have also installed the Xen package within Fedora 7 according to some insturctions I came across on the web (these didn't mention windows at all).<br />

I'd like a guide, but any suggestions/guidlines or other such things will also be appreciated.

Running Vista as a Xen Guest with Hardware Virtualization from within Fedora 7

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
