As Per suggested, i'll try on this list as it is more on-topic.
I grew up with XEN, so i rather stick with it (inertia ;-) but if it isn't maintained anymore, i'll ditch xen and start looking at LXC (for linux) and KVM (for non-linux).

Why are you using 4.2.0? The Xen shipped in 12.2 is 4.1.3, and works just fine. I even have esoteric features like VGA passthrough working. If you are having trouble with stock 12.2 plus updates, you can file a bug report.
As for maintenance, Xen is very well maintained on openSUSE. I have many production openSUSE Xen machines and when I file bug reports, issues are usually solved pretty quickly.
At a meeting, i was informed that LXC from the addon repo was significantly improved. I'm removing the addon, and will try XEN again. will report back on it. hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org
