Hi,

For a large project involving virtual servers under Xen I've been asked
to advice on using BSD for some services instead of Linux.

In the Q2/2007 FreeBSD Status Report work on the FreeBSD/xen port is
mentioned but the last report which came in yesterday does not mention
Xen at all.

Is someone still working on FreeBSD/xen or has work on the project stalled?

Is there anything usable, even beta, around which I can use to get a
feeling of what's involved in running FreeBSD under Xen?

Thanks.

Paul Schenkeveld
