At least at the time I did my searches, Xen was popular among hosting providers. At least those that offered unmanaged Debian guests, which is what I wanted. UML had a head-start, but has no read technical atvantage, AFAIK, and was on the retreat when I looked (e.g: linode.com). I was surprised at the relative small amount of vmware-based services. KVM was not mature enough at the time. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
