    Help Setting Up an Ubuntu Server

    I have tried KVM yet but I'm currently working on a Xen project for work and I have a few years experience with linux-vserver and Virtuozzo, Xen kicks both their asses. Here's some screenshots of a bunch of Windows VMs running on Xen 3.0.3. The nice thing about Xen is you don't...

    Your first Linux experience.

    I started off with Redhat 5.2 but couldn't get it working so I switched to Slackware. After that I switched to Debian for a while and now I use NetBSD or CentOS.
