Please quit spouting this nonsense. He's asking for facts not

You're entitled to your opinion, and the OP is entitled to post without

IMO it's particularly unfair to Xen with such an old version. Xen 4
is much better.
So in regards to the OP's questions, Vbox is your only viable
alternative is you want to run FreeBSD as the host.
HRL is supposed to be coming down the pipe, but I think we're at least
