I thought, just for the fun of it, let's install Windows 2008 Small Business Server. Interestingly, using the same Virtual Machine Manager, the installation wasn't as slow as with CentOS. It's almost asif it's more optimized for Windows? I used the exact same settings for the installation as with CentOS
Hi Rubi,
While I've had great luck using Xen (Gitco RPMs v3.4x) + Centos 5.5, I am waiting for Centos 6 as it will have the 2.6.32 pvops kernel which solves a lot of USB/firewire and I'm hoping VGA pass through issues.
Also disk i/o is supposed is supposed to be addressed although I have never had any i/o issues.
There are several write up on how to Xen-ize your RHEL 6 dom0 out there as 6 still supports Xen domUs.
You may want to dl a 30 day eval of RHEL6 or even SL 6 for the hell of it as a prep for Centos 6.
I wouldn't say Xen is out the door and its still a bit more mature then KVM.
However I have my eye on KVM as it does have better passthrough features, that is until pvops 2.6.32 is out :)
