Hi /g/, Going to setup non-headless xen for all-in-one serv

why xen instead of KVM?

PCI-Passthrough.
Not sure if Zen can do that, but that makes kvm/qemu a good contender.

>>61574328
>>61575247
yeah i think if you're looking to leverage more peripherals you should looking into kvm/qemu as well

>>61575247
xen supports pci passthrough even if your hardware lacks an iommu

>>61574328
Use Proxmox

>>61574671
Xen used to be pure spaghetti code. That's why it wasn't merged into the kernel instead of KVM.
Don't know what the situation is now.

>>61575247
It can, and it often does it better than KVM with anything. Xen was rewritten from ground up to be solid, as it was originally a university project of PhD students who just wanted to make it work. But now, it's actually matured. A lot.

There is no PCI passthrough WHEN using _FreeBSD_ as dom0. NetBSD does, but significantly lags behind xen releases.
Link contains all OSes and/or distros known to wiki to work with xen.

>>61575336
It is not xen.

>>61575337
See this >>61575951 .

No one uses xen in similar fashion? It should work great.
Just need to decide which OS and/or distro will be dom0 and some recommendations would be great (no more kvm (it is not xen), thanks!).
