If it's headless and I need speed and power I'll choose Xen. If I'm in a hurry or I need GUI support I'll choose VirtualBox. It's interesting to note that Xen is a major pain to set up if you have no idea what you're doing. VirtualBox on the other hand is very intuitive and you probably will never read the manual until you run into issues like the USB Any Filter not working or you need to do something special with VMs automatically booting up etc...
I think if some enterprising person/company wrote a gui like VirtualBoxes for Xen then I'd probably use Xen a lot more. -- Grant McWilliams Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use Windows." Now they have two problems. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
