guest tech documentation



I am looking for a doc to use with a discussion of guest OS on Linux. I can get
through xen and kvm pretty well, but user mode Linux and lguest, not so much.
And because this will be a nuts and bolts discussion, while I will mention
libvirt, running from cli is the preferred presentation.

Someone else will be talking about vmware, virtualbox, etc, etc.

I'm looking for *simple* examples of starting a machine and how one is different
from the other. And I would rather believe that someone else has done this and I
just haven't found it, rather than putting it off at least a month while I learn
more than I ever wanted to know about all of these, so I can build my own
presentation.
