an interesting choice going forward, one made more interesting by my experiences with KVM vs Xen
-
scalable OLTP for Amazon EC2/S3? for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and EnterpriseDB? should be chatting about this shortly

heard about this for the first time the other night; enjoy the time off, sir, and drop us a line when you’re ready to reconnect
-
need to give this a whirl and see if it’s any more reliable than xvidcap, which has been spotty for me. only downside is OGG only output; need to see how our videocasting services handle – or don’t – the format

comedy
-
more traction for OpenID

interesting, particularly on top of our catcher hunting in the independent leagues

My limited experience of Xen on gutsy is that it’s prone to random reboots. This might be a hardware issue, but could also be due to XenSource not having patches for anything past 2.6.18, and forward-porting is a pain – http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvops and http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-xen/2007-November/msg00106.html
So KVM being upstream means Ubuntu have to do a whole lot less work, have a more stable system and not kill any kittens. The Fedora pvops work isn’t going to be ready by April so that’s not an option, and XenSource don’t seem as interested in Linux since being bought by Citrix. I do run Xen quite successfully on Etch, but that’s a 2.6.18 kernel, and the hardware that was running gutsy was too new for 2.6.18. The OpenSolaris xVM port of Xen is still too early to use as a dom0, it has limitations like “Don’t use more than half your physical RAM for domUs.”
