up_the_irons: will not go in the office and spread the disease

Glad to be rid of it!

up_the_irons: baklava: who are you? :)
baklava: I'm new :P
I'm looking to get a VPS very soon and doing some research on where I want to get it from
up_the_irons: baklava: welcome then, welcome to #arpnetworks ! :)
baklava: how'd you find out about my VPS services?
baklava: thanks
-: jeev thinks about the free month
jeev: i sent him!
-: baklava takes $5 from jeev under the table.
baklava: why yes, yes, it was jeev
up_the_irons: LOL
baklava: I saw your post on WHT
while looking for a FreeBSD VPS
mike-burns: What's WHT?
up_the_irons: baklava: ah cool
mike-burns: webhostingtalk.com
mike-burns: Ah cool.
up_the_irons: baklava: well, if you have any questions, just let me know
baklava: well, I've been reading up on the Xen paravirt issues with FreeBSD, trying to find out if Kip is going to have something stable by the 8.0 release, and which way I should go
up_the_irons: baklava: yeah, I haven't used Xen for FreeBSD. I prefer KVM/QEMU, working quite well so far
baklava: Once Xen is stable in FreeBSD, will you consider switching?
up_the_irons: baklava: probably not. Xen has a host of internal problems. I don't like the hypervisor setup where I have to decide whether a box is a "Xen" box or not even before I install it. With KVM, it is a regular Linux box, and a "sudo modprobe kvm", makes it able to run guests. It's easy and makes a lot more sense.
I can boot install .ISO's of almost any OS, and connect to VNC, and install it like it was a regular box. It feels so "natural", I just can't go back to the way I had to do it with Xen (debootstrap, xen-tools, and other extra garbage)
baklava: as you can tell, I'm not much of a fan of Xen anymore ;)
KVM/QEMU has all the paravirt features as well (virtio), but as of now I think only Linux guests have paravirt drivers. Once FreeBSD gets some, that'd be awesome. But even without them, performance is still rockin'
baklava: sorry, I'm attending to a couple fires atm, I will probably have to pick this back up later :/ thank you for the help though
up_the_irons: baklava: no prob at all :)
i know the feelling...
s/ll/l/
baklava: thanks again, I'll just hang around. talk to you later
up_the_irons: baklava: please do idle, i like the company :)
Nat_UB: idle? Is that allowed here? HEHEHEHE
Irons: Maintenance go well?
up_the_irons: Nat_UB: yeah, a little longer than expected, but overall i'm quite happy
Nat_UB: cool deal....I slept right thru it :)
up_the_irons: Nat_UB: LOL
