I'm in the process of setting up a new server that will be the host |
| 2 |
for several virtual linux development servers. I will provision out |
| 3 |
virtual servers to our engineers to use for kernel/driver development, |
| 4 |
embedded linux development, etc. |

Initially, I was thinking that I'd just use UML for this, but the |
| 7 |
recent virtualization discussion has me second-guessing myself. I |
| 8 |
chose UML becuase it seems quite a bit easier to set up than the rest |
| 9 |
of the bunch Xen, KVM, etc, but perhaps that's not true. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The server in question is a Dual-CPU AMD Opteron with 8GB of RAM. I |
| 12 |
have 2007.0-amd64 installed, but haven't gotten any further in the |
| 13 |
config thus far. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
So...should I go ahead with UML, or should I look at implementing Xen |
| 16 |
perhaps? Or another virtualization technology? This is my first |
| 17 |
foray into implementing VPS stuff, so I'm sort of fumbling around. |
| 18 |
Xen seems like a very cool way to do this, but it seems a bit |
| 19 |
intimidating to get running. |

Any tips/suggestions? |
