## Debathena
[Debathena](http://debathena.mit.edu) brings the full functionality of Athena to your Debian or
Ubuntu system. Install Athena wholesale or in small pieces—a few
client utilities, or a full system with Athena-account logins and AFS
-home directories. Debathena is also the basis for the official
+home directories. You can even run software like Matlab or Mathematica
+straight from Athena lockers. Debathena is also the basis for the official
[Athena 10](http://athena10.mit.edu) due to replace Athena 9 in 2009.
+## XVM
+
+[XVM](http://xvm.mit.edu) offers virtual machines to the MIT community—complete systems which you control and maintain from the operating system up. Create a new machine with the click of a button. Start with our three-minute Debian or Ubuntu installer, or install an operating system of your choice.

+SIPB maintains hundreds of useful [[programs in AFS lockers|projects/lockers]] for use on
Athena. Many popular programs are in the <tt>sipb</tt> and <tt>outland</tt>
lockers, and even more have their own lockers in SIPB AFS. SIPB's
<tt>whichlocker</tt> program, located in <tt>outland</tt>, makes locker
software easy to find. (<tt>add outland; whichlocker whichlocker</tt>)
