+<h1>XVM &mdash; Virtual Servers for MIT </h1>
+
+<p><strong>xvm.mit.edu</strong> is a virtualization service for the
+MIT community.  We offer <strong>virtual machines</strong>&mdash;your
+own complete system on which you can start from our <strong>three-minute
+Debian or Ubuntu install</strong> or install the <strong>operating
+system of your choice</strong>.  The service is <strong>free</strong>
+to any Athena account holder.</p>
+
+<p>MIT users:</p>
+<blockquote><big><a
+href="https://${config.web.hostname}/"><strong><font color="green">&rarr;</font> Log in to XVM now</strong>
+</a></big></blockquote>
+<p>You'll need an <a href="http://ca.mit.edu/">MIT personal
+certificate</a>.</p>
+
+<h2>XVM features:</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>Online management of virtual machines</li>
+<li>A wide selection of bootable CD-ROM images and installers</li>
+<li>An automated Debian and Ubuntu installer</li>
+<li>Secure VNC console access via a Java applet</li>
+<li>Secure serial console access over SSH</li>
+<li>Ownership and access control through Athena lockers and groups</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>XVM does not feature:</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>backups of VM disk images; images are on a RAID, but you should
+    arrange your own backups for data that is important to you.</li>
+<li>guarantees of uptime or security; we are a best-effort volunteer
+    service, though we follow security and reliability best practices
+    shared by production SIPB services.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The XVM code base is a <strong>free software</strong> project under
+development, licensed under GPLv2+. If you're interested in using it,
+we'd be happy to help you set it up in your environment. Our Subversion
+repository is</p> <blockquote><a

+are independently run by our own team of volunteers, and we welcome new
+contributors.</p>
