However, I have a few questions to ask: - I see there is no port for x86_64 yet; The server I'll be running xen from will be a Dual AMD Opteron 64 bits. Will Xen correctly work in 32-bit mode? - No support for SMP on guest OS, right? - Could you please enlighten me about the internals of xen, regarding network? How does it establishes the network with the host system? Can I run a firewall on a virtual server without any problems ? - According to the site, a FreeBSD port should be close. Is there any date we can expect Xen ported to FreeBSD? - Any plans to port to OpenBSD? Xen seems like a great product; I'll love to try it out, even without SMP on my guest OSes! Very nicely done guys, I'll watch this project grow :-) Best Regards ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
