These solve different problem sets. :) People seem to think "virtualisation" is "virtualisation". It isn't. It depends on what kind(s) of problems you're trying to solve. Xen solves a certain set of virtualisation problems. > =A0. is it envisaged that a stable NetBSD dom0 implementation > =A0 would then be ported to FreeBSD (maybe) ? No idea. Is it stable? :) Personally, I'd prefer to see the FreeBSD DomU stuff 100% bulletproof and documented before more stuff is hacked on, but as I said before, I'm just interested in getting the current pieces into some kind of documented shape; I'm not hacking on Xen by any stretch of the imagination!
