Grant,
I think you may have misinterpreted my statement to mean that Xen is expensive
and the user community is very small. This is exactly the opposite of what I
was saying: I was speaking about the downsides of Virtuozzo, and the advantages
that Xen has over it.
To be absolutely clear: Xen has an excellent, thriving user community, is free,
and works fantastically. Virtuozzo is neat for density (# of VMs running on a
piece of hardware), but it’s not free, has no cohesive community, and lacks
some of the features that Xen brings to the table.
Like you, I have many XEN servers deployed in production, and my job would be
MUCH harder without it.
