Oh that's good to know. I've found that Gentoo comes with ZFS, and if I can create a ZFS file system from some disks and boot from that without further ado, that might be pretty cool. I tried out the latest Gentoo live DVD ... and I was surprised that the software it comes with is so old. Libreoffice 3.x? Seamonkey a couple versions behind? Is the software going to be more recent when I actually install? >> > Once you're in the chroot then you should install the kernel/etc per >> > the handbook. >> >> So there isn't really an advantage to use HVM ... it's even easier >> because I can access the LV from dom0. > > Not really.

ATM, I'm looking at LXC instead of VMs. I'm planning to make some changes again, and containers seem very appealing. -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable.
