Donald, my intention would normally be to use Debian (yes I am one of those) but know so little about Xen at this stage not sure if that is the best plan or not.<div><br></div><div>W<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/8/17 Donald Gordon <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:don@dis.org.nz">don@dis.org.nz</a>></span><br>

Modern AMD processors (I think anything that goes in an AM2 socket or
later) do virtualisation, as do most modern Intel processors (core duo
onward).<br>
<br>
Are you intending to run vanilla Xen on top of a random linux distro (I
use debian, lenny has recent Xen packaged), or use a product like
XenServer?<br>

<div>Anyone here doing a mix of Linux/Windows on Xen? (one particular
client has a Windows app they cannot get rid of at this stage). Any
recomendations on hardware? A number of my boxes are SuperMicro 1U and
2U which I have had good experiences with.
