Yes, i did visit the wiki link couple of months ago and in fact dropped a mail to Kip as well :) there was no response, guess he was busy. i'd be thankful, if you could share your observations about the following: . is dom0 support something that FreeBSD will target at some point in time or would be happy to be domU ? . there was some mention of vimage/bitvisor in one of the slides (i think on scribd.com). So, is it that jails getting extended to support virtualization+containers and thus a entirely different approach which does not use Xen ? . is it envisaged that a stable NetBSD dom0 implementation would then be ported to FreeBSD (maybe) ? Thank you for your time. thanks Saifi.
