Hey Ezra, What other gains do you get with virtualizing?
Also, would Xen/virtualizing make these easier? - restoring root compromised servers - transferring everything from an old to new server -- I do this periodically and cringe at having to reinstall everything Thanks, Joe > Yeah now that I have been way into Xen, I wouldn't setup a new > server without it.
