  • mimicit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Near and dear to my heart, I have a Xen box running some of my servers, and it does it well. The difference between Xen and Vmware? Xen uses a modified kernel that in the past has prevented it from running Microsoft OS's legally. This had prevented me from imaging a Windows server if I needed to, so I used Vmware. Now that the new VT chips are out, Xen runs MS, but Vmware utilizes the same VT code and optimises itself for the hardware. So switching my deployments from Vmware to Xen at this time makes no sense. In fact, I am in the process of doing the opposite. Why? Easy Vmware install, graphic-mui that runs on Apache, and a server console app that is really easy to use. Oh, and it runs well on Debian.
    The future? They have a lot of catch up to do.
