Random Musings

Friday at OLS seems to be almost entirely “Xen” focused. Since I’m rather intrigued by all this stuff - I’ll be sitting in these talks.

Xen is, basically, mainframe quality virtualization on x86.

It’s incredibly cool stuff. In fact, I’m so intrigued by it that I’m going to try rebooting my laptop into Xen in a few minutes and having a virtualized system running on my laptop full-time.

If this works, I think I’ll start converting my user mode linux setups at work into full-time xen systems, and I’ll just limit them to running in 64 meg of ram each, and that should give me much much better performance than I got with uml doing the same thing.
