If customer doesn't want to run OpenSolaris 2010-02-125 or SNV 124 for Xen Virtualization in meantime :-

1. Would it be possible to install F11 or Ubuntu 9.04 Server on this box ?
2. Would it be possible port Xen-unstable or Xen-3.4.2 via xensource.com or
build Xen Dom0 via xen-3.4.1-5.fc12.src.rpm along with the most recent Libvirt 0.7.0
with xen driver ( on F11).
3. Would it be possible clone JF's Git Repo to this box and build the most recent
pvops kernel ?
4.Would it be possible to build the most recent xenified 2.6.31.4 aka Suse ?

In other words, are you aware of Linux Xen performance on mentioned hardware
from Sun ?

Boris.

After reading across this thread, I would to add my five cents.
If you really like to have a Server, then you should take a serious look
at Sun X86 hardware, for example the X4170 would be a great peace of
hardware for running xen as server virtualisation. Even more for remote
usage.
