What do you think of OpenVZ? From what i've read, Xen is a better bet as a VPS customer as it's more isolated like a real machine and the provider can't oversell but for running your own VPS, it seems OpenVZ can perform better as long as you dont need any Xen specific features like the ability to run different kernels, have swap etc (and obviously providers like it as they can oversell). Thanks, Ian Hi Adam,
