I've had a NetBSD/i386 machine that's been running since the late 90s and various hardware iterations. I think it's time to move it to a virtual machine. I need new hardware as well. It has about a 10 year old AMD processor and 1 gig of memory. This is plenty, but the hardware is getting unreliable.
I need advice on hypervisors and if it requires certain hardware, hardware advice as well. bhyve appeals to me for obvious reasons but I've never used it. I use KVM and VMWare at work. Also VMWare Fusion on my Mac. Would prefer not to pay too much if I need to pay for something. Never tried Xen but I see posts about it here once in a while. I plan on running other stuff on the hypervisor, probably OpenBSD. Possibly something else as well, maybe a NAS or something. Thoughts? Thanks. Andy
