I would think it would perform wonderfully as a virtualized server. Most commercial places that rent you virtual servers use Xen, and Qubes is based upon Xen, so . . . And the separation of server to prevent cross-contamination is a great feature. I used a Xen-based virtual server at Rackspace for years, and it performed wonderfully. Now, if you have a server that's going to be handling a high level of traffic, you're going to want some correspondingly powerful hardware and memory behind it. But the success of running servers under Xen is a proven thing. JJ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
