Hi, I'm running Xen using Intel's "Conroe" which is an alias for the dual core CPU with VT enabled, on my PC I don't know if there is any laptop with it and how expensive is it.
I'm using openSUSE 10.2 as my distro which has an O.K. user interface for the installation and a good documentation. I'm running Windows XP (in a full virtualization mode) in a very good performance, while my host system works as usual. I have tried installing Xen on Ubuntu using apt-get or source but I gave up. Installing Xen on openSUSE 10.2 required no work since it's already part of the full package. I don't know how relevant it is, but if any one interested in my private experience I can publish it. BTW memory size is also a factor when running any virtual machine, Xen provide the option of changing the amount of memory provided to each guest OS (and even the host OS) while it's running. I already installed kubuntu, RH9, WinXP, Cross compiled Linux from Scratch, and they all work fine, connected to my LAN, and provide my humble needs.
