Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:44:13 +0000 http://www.chrisk.de/blog/?p=1019#comment-268 Ubuntu doesn't have Xen because they focus on KVM and don't have the manpower to backport the 2.6.18 patches to recent kernels. (But fedora does) I don't know Oracle VM, but if you don't need the extra performance of a Dom0 (virtualized DomUs are slower than Dom0) for one of your applications (I have my fileserver on Dom0) go with one of the Xen distros with better administration like Citrix. But if you don't mind reading some docs go with Debian/Fedora or even OpenSolaris. If you really don't mind learning a lot go with OpenSolaris, their docs are good and it has an up-to-date Xen. I'm currently running OpenSolaris as a DomU to get into it and maybe run it as Dom0 later on. Hope that helped.

I'm wondering too, why there is no dom0 support for Ubuntu right now... By the way: you mentioned Sun with XEN based xVM. Is this the same as the Oracle VM tool? As a beginner in Virtualizatiion: Is it recommendable to use one of these Oracle, Sun, Citrix or whatever XENs to handle the dom0 using the domu's with whatever-you-like-OS? Maybe to make administration easier? Thanks alot Reinhard Yes, very interesting. I’m wondering too, why there is no dom0 support for Ubuntu right now…
