Hi Heinz, My use-case is home use - I need plenty of storage and want to consolidate a few machines into one to save on power, etc. I've currently got a SmartOS box and a few VMs on it but they're all manually created.
I'd like to be able create VMs remotely for use with thinks like beaker [1] so I'm considering building out a larger box with more CPU/RAM and hacking it to work with FiFo/Fog. Maybe I'll install FiFo on my existing box and try it first. Cheers, R.
