1)What is the difference between Xen and VMware?
A)XEN : Xen is an open-source virtualization solution. The Xen hypervisor acts as a thin layer between the hardware and the operating system, allowing multiple virtual servers to run simultaneously on a single physical server. Each virtual server acts independently of the others, with its own allocated area of RAM and virtual disks.
VMware : VMware is a company that provides virtualization software for x86-compatible computers.

5)What is the difference between IPchains and IPtables?
IPchains : Ipchains is a utility for Linux that System Administrators can use to create and modify the ruleset that is used for their host based firewall. These rules are used by a system to decide whether or not it is going to allow a specific remote connection.
IP tables : Iptables is a generic table structure that defines rules and commands as part of the netfilter framework that facilitates Network Address Translation (NAT), packet filtering, and packet mangling in the Linux 2.4 and later operating systems.

Quite a few answers on this "Interview" were flat-out wrong, like the one regarding running HPUX under VMware (can't, because VMware does not emulate PA-RISC or Itanium), and the ipchains answers as well. I hope that wasn't to hire a real SA for a real job :)
Thanks for the comments David, We modified our post and will not repeat this type of things again. Thanks once again to point out and help other not to read the wrong things.
