Virtualisation software embedded in Linux distributions is suitable for Virtual Private Server (VPS) providers. But which virtualisation software is embedded in which Linux distros?

Xen is available in Fedora Core since version 5 and in Suse since version 10.1. Most probably Red Hat will include Xen in its Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 which has to appear at the end of the year.

OpenVZ is virtualisation software which is in fact Open Source testing suite for Virtuozzo. OpenVZ has started to be available in Gentoo, Mandriva and Debian Unstable. Still, very rarely hosting providers use OpenVZ for offering their VPS. OpenVZ is also avaiable on Ubuntu since version 6.10.
