1. I don't consider F12 and Ubuntu 9.10 Server as a hell for Xen 3.4.3, 4.0

2. Oracle VM x86_64 i believe is based on outdated Xen implementation on RHEL
Xen 3.1.2, Kernel 3.0.3. Hard to say how long they will be happy with that 
config (Linux)
Solaris 11 with xVM 3.4.2 would mean relatively painless moving Oracle VM to 
Solaris 11. Servers consolidation -  Solaris 11 PV guests, each one running 11g 
instance, utilizing Zvols as data storage for oracle's data files. The cut of 
the edge technology been tuned for about 20 years. Oracle advertising policy 
really seems strange. They might be aware of issues which are unknown for 
people outside company.

Seems there is nothing going out from Oracle, seems that also people in 
Sun/Oracle has to not talk about that....

I was thinking to make some work on Xen under OpenSolaris because this was the 
only reliable alternative to Linux and the inherent bazar of all Linux 
distributions... but since there is nothing comming out from Sun/Oracle, I 
decided to work under the hell that is Linux and all the stuff around it.

So bad, Sun/Oracle has gold under their feets :

- crossbow
- zfs
- xen

but they don't promote it or even help startup that want to add a sticker 
"powered by opensolaris"...
