Thank you to Miles for asking, and the multiple replies. I have been thrashing with that decision also. In our case, we're running Sun hardware [2200M2] and thought OpenSolaris would have a better relationship with the RAID controller, multiple NIC's and LOM; all essential. We're not sure how well supported they are in current Linux distributions. _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
