Are you > saying that Solaris 10 will run fully virtualised on > VMware with no loss Evan, 1. I am saying , that any kind of full virtualization will significantly affect performance. No matter would it be VMVare Solaris VM or Xen Solaris HVM guest. 2. I am also saying that to get Solaris 08/07 HVM guest at Linux Dom0 seems to be hardly possible at mean time. But I can only guess, please, read MRJ's comments. So, if you do need fully virtualized Solaris 08/07 on Linux you just cannot proceed with Linux Dom0s. You have to look for another Virtualization Tool. View , for example:- http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/87449/index.html 3. You may have Solaris 08/07 HVM guest running nicely at SNV76 Dom0 View , for example:- http://librenix.com/?inode=11444
