Novell boosts Linux virtualization with VMware support

Novell, Inc. has announced improvements to the performance of SUSE Linux under VMware. "Novell today announced significant enhancements in the performance of SUSE(R) Linux Enterprise Server when the Linux operating system is running as a virtual machine guest in a VMware environment. To deliver this improved performance, Novell modified the SUSE Linux Enterprise kernel to support the VMware Virtual Machine Interface (VMI), a communication mechanism between the guest operating system and hypervisor that simplifies the task of virtualization and makes Linux a more efficient guest operating system when running in VMware environments."
