Re: Now and Xen

I am impressed with the ease of installing multiple Fedora machines machines
under Fedora (4), but suspect installing Xen for use with different OSes might
not be so smooth. My experience showed the performance be to be excellent.
Very little overhead in the controlling machine. I found problems mainly in
hardware access and gave up on virtual machines for a fax server (requiring a
multi-serial port card) and an Asterisk PBX (requiring a specialty add-on
card).
