My requirements:
A distro that's relatively modern (e.g. supports kvm and xen, but I
guess as long as kvm runs on any of the guests I should be OK too). I
plan to run Linux, Windows2k (xfer my old desktop), WindowsXP, and
probably Solaris 10. I also need to xfer my other old Linux system
Redhat 7.0 (2.2.16-22), so that I could eventually migrate all data and
services off it.
I was hoping for a dual monitor setup so that I could run Windows on
one, Linux on another (or any other choice of 2 Operating Systems at the
same time).
I currently have a recently purchased Dell e521 AMD x2 (it has some
known problems with Linux with it's NVIDIA built in video and it's
Broadcom network card, hence I need Xen 3.0.4), and which I plan to
equip with a RAID card, mirror 2 large drives, and add another video
card, monitor, if I can get Xen to work to some degree on it.
Pointers on how to xfer Windows 2000 old PC to a kvm/qemu/xen are also
appreciated.
Any other advice appreciated too.
I need something that works, I already invested at least 20hrs into this
setup. I am not afraid of a challenge, but I was hoping that after so
many years of Linux things would finally start to magically work out of
the box :)
So far I've tried debian 4.0, with limited success (c my previous post).
I am also familiar with RedHat based systems and Solaris (somewhat, as I
didn't really work with 10 much, but plenty with 7-9).
Are these requirements realistic, or should I stick to my 2 old Pent III
Dell desktops :)
Thanks,
Andrey
