Then my pessimism is not ungrounded :) Seriously, the only way I would use Xen (meaning me, for my projects - other people are sure to have different priorities) is as dom0 for hosting other OS-es (mainly Linux). In the other direction (FreeBSD as guest of other systems) there are other free and good solutions like VMWa= re. I'm all for sponsoring you or anyone else to develop the functionality, but I probably can't even approach the amount such serious work would require. I know FreeBSD Foundation has barred targeted donations so would you (and the community of potential donators) be interested in doing something like phk did a few years back, personally ask and set up the infrastructure (paypal?) to receive a mass of small donations to fund this work? --------------enig0AB94F49C5FC52B0BEBBCE8B Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHmHAFldnAQVacBcgRAmuqAKCM0e2UJIx/KDdoUG09pnfzFSaNvQCgumNR pNuaLg7uLTTkEsAqEdzW6yM= =7dv5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig0AB94F49C5FC52B0BEBBCE8B--
