<div dir="ltr"><div>I just found out that xenserver 6.2 is now completely free and OSS (with the exception of patching) a few weeks ago when esxi wouldn't work because the server had more then 32G of ram. VMware's solution was to just yank out the extra ram. I've been very happy with it so far. I even found a decent desktop and moved all my vbox images over to it w/o any problems after I exported it correctly by adding the .ovf inplace of the .ova in the exported filename.<br>

I believe the Linux Xen and XenServer images are compatible but I'm not 100% certain.</font><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">

I have a PC running XP exclusively to run WiRNS, a replacement ReplayTV guide provider. I'd like to switch it over to run as a VM on my Linux box, but I don't have a full XP install disk for it. Is there a way to image the current real install and turn it into an .iso that I can use under a VM?<br>
