I know this thread has been dormant for quite some time, but I want to see if anyone has any ideas how how we could do cloud hosting using FreeBSD as the host system. A better way to put it is a FreeBSD Based Amazon EC2. basically a bunch of FreeBSD servers, that are in a cluster, and could host a bunch of Xen Domu's . I am aware that FreeBSD does not yet have Xen dom0 support. but are there any other competing projects to xen that I am unaware of. Sam Fourman Jr.
