Re: Xen 3.x with NetBSD 3.x x86-64/64-bits/amd64 Dom0

[Philip <subs%christiantena.net@localhost>]

This is disappointing news.
If I want to run Xen on an old Pentium 3 733Mhz with 512M RAM am I 
better off to run Xen2 with NetBSD Dom0 or Xen3 with a Linux Dom0 ?
The virtual machines will be home mail server, web server, file server 
with little load on them.

thanks, Philip

1.) NetBSD 3.x can *not* be used a Xen 3 dom0. NetBSD 3.1 can be used as
   a Xen 3 domU, all other releases of NetBSD 3.x only support Xen 2.
2.) NetBSD doesn't support Xen for AMD64.
3.) Xen for AMD64 seems to have a lot of issues in general.

        Kind regards
