Xenoppix is a Knoppix-based live DVD distribution with Xen, a virtual machine monitor.

Xenoppix sets up device drives using autoconfig function of KNOPPIX and enables to boot a guest OS on Xen. X window System is prepared by KNOPPIX and GUI of GuestOS is mapped to the X11 using VNC full-screen mode. it looks GuestOS boots standalone.

The guest OS can work as a server because it gets IP address from external DHCP with VIF-Bridge of Xen.

Xenoppix(Xen 2.0.6) 1ncludes 2 Guest OSes; NetBSD and Plan9 and Xenoppix(Xen3.0) includes Xenoppix(KNOPPIX) itself.

What's New in This Release:
Xenoppix (Xen3.0.2 + KNOPPIX 5.0.1) CD is released. It uses isolinux + mbootpack instead of GRUB, because the combination expands bootable machines. It enables Xen to boot on EFI (iMac CoreDuo). LCAT (Live CD Acceleration Toolkit) is applied to make fast boot. It was effective on Dom0, DomU and HVM.
