[Xen-users] Should I use HVM?

["John Hannfield" <hal9020@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm thinking of getting a new server, and I'm wondering about the AMD 2000 series
processor with support for hardware virtualisation. But as I only ever use Linux,
is this much of an issue?  Everything I have read seems to say HVM is good for
running unmodified guest OS's - like windows. But I only need Linux which is already
ported to xen, so do I really need hardware virtualisation?  There must be other benefits
to using it? But what are they? 

Any advice or pointers to more info on using HVM for linux domU's would be useful.

Thanks,

John
