eWEEK Labs Walk-Through: Microsoft`s Hyper-V RC1 (
Page 1 of 6 )
Hyper-V, Microsoft’s virtualization option for Windows Server 2008, has taken another step toward final release. Released for download by Microsoft on May 20, Release Candidate 1 adds support for Windows 2000 Server Service Pack 4 and Novell’s SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 for both x86 and x64. Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 will be available in a future update, according to the release notes for the LIC (Linux Integration Components) add-on software. During tests of RC1, I bolted on LIC and installed SUSE, along with Windows Server 2000 SP4, to get a look at the new capabilities.By Cameron Sturdevant
