FreeBSD on xen?

[Outback Dingo]

Well ... depends on your needs
Yes you can install FreeBSD 7 as a DomU, Ive done so under Debian and Ubuntu
server
I have 10 FreeBSD 7/8 DomUs running under XEN 3.1.2
Usability is somewhat questionable, though Ive had recently some better
stability for light work
compiling world/kernel is still a bit iffy with GCC core dumps
adding ports is doable, light load is doable, networking bridged appears ok
booting a DomU can also sometimes hang ( frequest) when using the -c flag
useable, yes to a degree... heavy productions work... No, definatley not at
this time
rumour says XEN HVM Hypervisor and KVM ( linux) both show riunning freebsd
on virtualized
platforms to be more stable and usable
