Xen3 is a very new technology that is still in development. Novell is proud to bring this cutting edge technology to SUSE in an early development state. With Xen3, many features evolve quickly and some of the areas are not mature yet. Xen3 brings several new Features over Xen2, amongst them are:

  • x86-64 support (working)
  • SMP support (currently disabled)
  • PAE support (not enabled on SUSE Linux)
