Stay tuned, things are happening! Interesting, Sean! FreeBSD has certain things that would make it attractive as a dom0 - MAC, GEOM, ZFS, among others. The amd64 PV port is also interesting by itself. I for one have always noticed dramatic performance losses when running HVM+PV, which has made me shy away from FreeBSD recently, as 95% of the stuff I admin is virtualized these days. Anyway - it's a good move on behalf of the project, I think Xen is here to stay, and good support for it is essential for the future! Regards, Hugo
