FreeBSD on Amazon EC2

Tue May 4 20:29:47 UTC 2010

borrow that code for what? 

IMHO xen dom0 is unusable on the linux platform. And btw who wants to
operate his 'cloud' on a piece of software that officially is not
security patched?

I didn't have the chance to test XEN dom0 support under NetBSD, but the
combination of XEN and ZFS within Solaris just rocks it all ;-))

Mr Olli
