[Lust] Whats in your box? Just for fun.

[Kevin Fullerton]

Yeah, I played around with it on one of my boxes here and had about 5 VM's
running on a dual xeon with 512Mb with no noticable performance hit, but
they weren't loaded down, but was very impressed with it.

If you do, try Steve Kemp's xen-tools - makes it a lot easier for creating
and configuring Debian and CentOS VM's for Xen (http://xen-tools.org/)

Cheers, Kevin!

There was an article on Xen in the June '05 issue of Linux Format but I
never got around to trying it out, maybe I'll give vm's a go, just for fun!

Cheers, Karl.
