Hi all, Right now I'm building Sage 3.0 on Xubuntu 8.04 Server LTS on Hyper-V, Microsoft's new virtualization platform.
So far it looks to be roughly half the size as the VMWare version (we'll see once I discard all the various build snapshots along the way), and unlike VMWare workstation is able to properly resize X-Window display. It's currently built using the legacy network adapter (due to no Integration services tools yet), which shouldn't really affect performance, but is something that can be looked at. If you run Windows Server 2008 the Hyper-V image should be instantly runnable. I took the long-way round, that is, I built the image from scratch with the Linux install directions, rather than just porting over my VMWare image (which can be done, but gets messy due to virtual SCSI->virtual IDE issues, which seems to have been fixed recently). If you have any suggestions or comments on this, send them over, otherwise I'll post a build to the Sage site whenever I get this to work.
