i want to know what exactly is xen and what is it used for.
when i boot up my fedora core linux ,before it says welcome to fedora core 6 i can see many lines of xen coming up.
i want to know whether it is important or not.

From the fedora wiki

Xen is a high performance and secure open source virtualization framework. Virtualization allows one to run many guest virtual machines on top of a host operating system such as Fedora. What this means is that using one computer, you can mimick several individual computers and even run different operating systems in each of these virtual machines.
