I have a recently acquired laptop, which came with Windows XP. I reformatted the hard drive and installed 10.2 on one partition and Xp on another, smaller partition (I need some stuff that only runs on Windows). So, now, I'm dual-booting, and I'd like to move to a virtual machine environment. I'd rather not have to reinstall everything. I've been watching the list postings regarding quemu, VMware, and virtualbox. Suse supports xen directly, but no one seems to be talking about it, and the wiki has a slot for installing a VM from a disk image, but no text (the page is a year old, still waiting for text). Also, the xen documentation in /usr/share seems to imply that you need processor support (the Intel VT extensions) to use XP under xen. I have a Core duo, which doesn't have these extensions. Am I understanding correctly that I can't use xen for XP in my machine? Are the other virtualization systems better in some important sense than xen, or is it just that no one is interested in xen? Where can I find suse-oriented how-to's for these other systems if it's better to go another way (I don't have a lot of time for futzing around with half-prepared material, but I don't mind even considerable work preparing and setting up something that promises to work well).
