Re: [Xen-users] Xen on a Mac Pro 
| 
0. I'm assuming that you currently have OS/X running on your new Mac  
Pro and that you want to run Xen VMs. Correct me if I'm mistaken.
1. I envy you, and if you decide that OS X is a problem I will happily  
trade you a Linux box ;-)
2. It's certainly possible to run Xen on an EFI based machine but it  
means installing a Linux distro for your dom0. To my mind that seems  
like a waste of a Mac and I'd sooner stick with OS/X and run Linux VMs  
inside Parallels. I have tried Virtual Box and vmware fusion but got  
better performance with Parallels. 
Have fun!

Hello,
I have a new Mac Pro with 16gb of RAM.
I was thinking that I could setup a XEN Server for my software  
development environments and be able to SSH or VNC into the  
instances from my mac book. 
Has anyone run XEN on a Mac Pro yet? Work? Issues?
My hosting provider (Mosso (RackSpace Cloud)) uses XEN and I love  
being able to create instances from a browser, allot additional  
memory, etc and start re-provisioning process, etc, etc. 
Advice is appreciated!
Best,
-Jason
