It works great. No obvious memory or CPU overhead. It's not the most secure thing in the world, as all the memory is available to each vserver. That's a good thing for the most efficient memory usage, but does mean one vserver can hog all the RAM if it wants. Xen is a "proper" virtual server system. However you allocate a fix amount of memory to each VM which is quite wasteful. -- Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
