Question about XEN ?

[gala_dragos]

Hi! I've been looking at XEN emulator for while and I would like to give it a try. But I'm having some doubts about it. Here are my questions:

1) What OS's can be emulated under XEN ? (tutorials are welcomed)
2) What hardware specs should my pc have for running XEN and linux smoothly?
3) When I reinstall fedora do I have to delete XEN as well?

Thanks for your answer. My interest is to emulate the Windows XP desktop in particular because I have some apps that are stuck on windows.

Try VirtualBox instead as Xen is hardwork

thanks, but what about hardware specs? Is there anybody who can give me a hint about the hardware that I should have? I wanna find out what others are using for Virtual Machines so I can compare it with mine.

You need a CPU with hardware virtualization support to run unmodified operating systems under Xen. Intel Core 2 Duo or Socket AM2 Athlon64 processors have that feature.
