I'm in the process of setting up a new server that will be the host for several virtual linux development servers. I will provision out virtual servers to our engineers to use for kernel/driver development, embedded linux development, etc.
Initially, I was thinking that I'd just use UML for this, but the recent virtualization discussion has me second-guessing myself. I chose UML becuase it seems quite a bit easier to set up than the rest of the bunch Xen, KVM, etc, but perhaps that's not true. The server in question is a Dual-CPU AMD Opteron with 8GB of RAM. I have 2007.0-amd64 installed, but haven't gotten any further in the config thus far. So...should I go ahead with UML, or should I look at implementing Xen perhaps? Or another virtualization technology? This is my first foray into implementing VPS stuff, so I'm sort of fumbling around. Xen seems like a very cool way to do this, but it seems a bit intimidating to get running. Any tips/suggestions? Thanks! -- Erik Anderson http://andersonfam.org -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
