Hi,


well we have xen support so it depends what you are actually doing in
general (the "do I have to learn the Xen-API"-part).


The idea itsself sounds interesting, tho I am really xen-friendly :-)

I assume a "native virtualization" (so just netbsd-stuff is involved)
may even be more stable? Dunno ;)


From a totally unrelated source, I heared of the L4-folks doing
"some interesting work with pre-virtualization as an alternative
to para-virtualization provided by Xen or rHype.":

http://l4ka.org/projects/virtualization/afterburn/whitepaper.pdf

(Sitenote: I did not even read those papers yet :)
