I'm in the process of building a new box that will have Dual Xeon 5120's
(Dual Core), and 4G of ram and 2.4T of disk (6x400G SATA).



It will have CentOS 4.4 X86_64 as the base os with VMWare Server running on
it.



I am willing to run any X86 or X64 OS's in VM's as buildfarm clients.



What OS's do we need coverage for?

I might use that as the base then, since the hardware finishes getting here
tomorrow.

My question still stands on what OS's we need coverage for.

I've got Debian testing/unstable covered. I'm not sure we have
Novell/SuSE covered...

The other thing to consider is that CentOS 5 has Xen built right in, so
you should be able run VMs without VMWare on it.

.... if the kernel of the OS has Xen support, there will be no
performance penalty (only 2%-3%) (Para-virtualization). Otherwise, there
will be full-virtualization, and we should expect a performance loss
about 30% for each guest OS (like Windows).

Cannot say about OS, but could you run it with
Python 2.5? 64bit interface changed there and it
would be interesting to see if it still works.

I may be wrong but I thought that the guest OS kernel only needs special
support if the underlying CPU doesn't have virtualization support which
pretty much all the new Intel and AMD chips have. No?

You need that CPU support if you want to do full virtualization at all.
Otherwise you can only use para-virtualization. Para-virtualization has much
better performance, but full virtualization is more flexible because you
don't need special kernel support in the guest.

I can provide coverage of SuSE Enterprise 9/10 on i386/x86_64. I just
filled out the form on the buildfarm page, so I'm awaiting further
instructions....
