Thanks for your reply. For the immediate future I will use QEMU with
kqemu. This will allow me to quickly migrate my Xen machines. In the
future I will also have another look at VServer. This little system
only has 512MB of ram which can be a little tight.
Hi Stephen. I know you've made your choice but I've had experience with a
number of these tools so wanted to put my 2 agorot in.
I use Qemu/kqemu for virtualisation exclusively these days. Yeah you take
a hit in performance but the flexibility is great. I virtualise mail
servers, web servers and other boxes where there is little interactive
shell access.
I've never used Xen as I don't like paravirtualisation from a conceptual
POV. Full virtulisation is the way to go IMHO.
I used VServer and UML long ago. The former was a bit flakey at the time
(probably better now) and networking in the latter was just awful at the
time. Overall I think UML is "just the wrong approach". I may revisit
Vserver.
Cheers,
Rob
