As long as you need storage and network (so no Xserver, sound support,
etc.), there should be no problem. Create an image of your RedHat 7 system
and start it like any other virtual machine. Be sure your app does not
require the original RH7 kernel!

So far I did not realise that Xen is great for preserving those old
distros, especially if XDMCP runs on them it's a great way to demo Linux
history; where are my Slackware 3 floppies???
