I am currently researching how Xen works. I am finding the top-level information a bit lacking in low-level information. I came across the website with all the objects for Xen, however, I have yet to find implementation or developer information, so I still have some digging to do, obviously. I have downloaded the pdf information, however, I have not gotten far enough into the docs to figure out what is actually needed to have Xen function as it should on FreeBSD. I am also researching the different types or products to figure out what should be my target for the most investigation. > I think you're where I was at a while ago, and a little investigation > will > change your mind.FWIW Xen is a hypervisor, and platforms need to be > able to run in it, not the other way around. Have a read up on it anyway. I am still premature in my research of this platform, so I am still trying to figure out what is done by the Xen implementation that is not within the indigenous OS. (I assume that it encapsulates environments as would be needed for true virtual private services.) Thanks for the dialogue, I am still very much premature in my research of this "virtualization appliance" project that I thought up for my environment, and it is nice to see some feedback. -- Respectfully, Martes G Wigglesworth M.
