Thanks Boris, I use F12 on my Laptop and I want run some VM for test new
version of distro.

Now I use qemu-kvm but each machine use 30/40% of CPU of host system.

I want use XEN to see if it works better...

I have found this note:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-centos-xen-virtualization-installation-howto.html

But if I run "yum install xen virt-manager kernel-xen" this is the
output:

> % sudo LANG=C yum install xen virt-manager kernel-xen

then I'm looking for some thing to do after this....

Thanks
