The machine I tested this on did not have hardware virtualization support and I think about 1 - 1 1/2 years went down since I've tested this scenario. I will definitely give it a shot the moment I own a HVM capable notebook, since I'm heavily tied to vmware from work, but love XEN in my spare time ;-)) -- Mr. Olli Am Montag, den 09.02.2009, 13:28 -0800 schrieb Kip Macy: > Running Xen under vmware works fine (albeit slowly, and periodically > exposing bugs in vmware) - I've done it many times.
