Topics:	1)	Xen Virtualization: see below.

	2)	"Command Line 101"  ...a look at and discussion of useful
		or essential command line commands or operations.
		The tentative topic for this month is:
		"shell expansion"  ie:
		> wildcards etc,
		> what to do when they fail
                  (xargs, find...|, perl's readdir etc)
		  also practical limits to directory sizes
		> scope of expansion (ie what gets passed to the command
		  - esp. if the expansion does not match any entries in
		  the working dir)

What is Xen Virtualization?
Xen is an open-source software project that provides high-performance,
resource-managed virtualization on the x86 processor architecture. It
allows multiple operating system instances to run concurrently on a single
physical computer. Xen manages the computer's hardware resources so they
are shared effectively among the operating system instances, called
domains. So what does all this mean? It means that by using Xen
virtualization, you can run and use several different operating systems at
the same time on a single computer.
