What we need here is PR too. If someone here knows how to create press releases and distribute them it would be good for the adoption of the project. But there are fundamental differences between Xen and vserver.
Xen allows different Operating systems to run on the same server, now only linux and I think freebsd. Vserver only allows linux. The uppoint of vserver is that the kernel is shared wich means lower memory footprint. I think unification also reduces needed memory. I have not been here for a long time, have you guys implemented virtual ethernet devices per vserver like freevps? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gregory (Grisha) Trubetskoy Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 4:50 AM To: [email protected] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Vserver] solaris containers/zones On Fri, 24 Jun 2005, Mike Tierney wrote: > As much as I like Vservers (we use them on 2 of our Production > servers!!) it looks like the Xen project (open source virtual machine > software) IS getting LOTS of media coverage and attention/resources from > vendors (Novell, IBM, Sun, HP, Redhat, etc). This is called PR. If you read this, you'll have a better idea of what's going on here: http://www.pycon.org/data/95/pycon-20050325-1-0900-95-ike.mp3 Xen was funded by commercial research money (from Microsoft and Intel IIRC) with the intent of turning it into a commercial venture, which is what Xensource is. All this "buzz" is to a large degree artificially generated to support the venture. > Apparently the current version (v2) isn't that great but the next > version (due out in August) sounds like a huge leap forward. And longhorn will just totally kick ass, so I heard! :-) Grisha _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [email protected] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [email protected] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
