Since that article was written in 2005, I think Redhat has changed
directions, these days, to bet on KVM

http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page

And, yes, KVM is in the Linux Kernel (since 2.6.20?)

Redhat even acquired Qumranet, which is one of the main funder for the
development of KVM.

I am not trying to dis-credit Xen. I'd figure that while you're in the
mood for open source virtualization, I'd share some more pointers.  :)

Happy hacking,
