[Fedora-directory-users] Fedora DS in a Xen DomU?

[Eddie C]

Sure I can give it a go.
I am running fedora directory server inside a VMware host. It works
well. I think the main bullet point of Virtualization is that
reasourse hungry processes are not going to function well in any
emulated environment. E.G. if your server is pegged 100% CPU with high
disk IO it is going to be even worse on a machine with 3-4 other
systems.

I think it is ideal for emulation. Especially small ones. I think
somewhere on the internet there is a vmware FDS guest you can just
load up and play with.
