Xen using netbsd

need to install multiple Window servers on my laptop for some testing... one domain controller, one offering certificate service (pki), one as file server, and one Vista as client...


i can't imagine using type 1 hypervisor for this task... i only have 2G RAM on my laptop.. so virtualbox and vmware server is out..

i am left with Xen and VMware ESX Server , but the latest ESX server only runs on 64bit hardware and it don't support intel cpu with emt64 extension... while at least this is what i found, i maybe wrong as i don't have much time ...

so i move on to using Xen... either ubuntu and debian... ubuntu does not offer dom0 kernel now and i saw many criticism on running Xen with Ubuntu..

i did tried it out but it is some troublesome and time is running short

so i went to debian... but debian didn't install on my HP EliteBook... oh ...

i will try netbsd now... i always prefer *bsd more...
