Re: How To Use Xen Virtualization ; Chips For Virtualization

Question 1

Currently, I just boot F7 with the xen kernel, running Domain-0 and I go
my merry way logging in as myself and installing software, doing email,
etc. But I wonder if this is accepted practice? Or should I be
installing F7 again a second time as a guest OS and doing user and
development stuff under that?

If you do any heavy development you will probably be wise to do that
in a vm, it will completely isolate any problems from the main system.
That it the beauty of virtual machines.

Question 2

My AMD Athlon 64 chip listed above doesn't support full virtualization
e.g. there is no 'svn' in the /proc/cpuinfo flags.  I have this chip
installed in an Asrock 939SLI32-eSATA2 motherboard. Can anyone suggest a
new processor I can buy which supports full virtualization? I'd prefer
an AMD processor and I could replace the motherboard. The Asrock board
is rock solid -- I love it -- but I could replace it.

First a note, if you are grepping for the amd flag for virtualization
then you need to look for svm not svn.

I have an ASUS M2NPV am2 with a dual core 3800 and the asus system is
rock solid.  It is my mythtv backend with two 160 GB sata drives
connected and 2GB of dual channel ram.  I run windows xp in a vm and
am satisfied with the performance.

Good luck
