FreeBSD on Amazon EC2

Mon May 3 18:17:10 UTC 2010

I agree but I think the major problem is that all the Linux distributions
are abandoning Xen because of its difficulty to maintain. (I fear especially
for Debian which is the main interesting distrib for Xen dom0)

For now the only OS who is maintaining Xen as Dom0 is NetBSD and it’s not so
great by my humble opinion.

So maybe it would be a good thing to look at alternatives to Xen or
patiently wait for Xen 4.0 :(

Thanks for your interesting view on the subject. Yes I guess I too, would
really love to hear from a FreeBSD developer on this matter. It would be
great to have at least a 386 version working so some of us could put it on
ec2 and start with some feedback.

FreeBSD should really be there in my opinion !
