A while back I posted about [Building first desktop from scratch][1]. In it I mentioned installing Xenserver. I have no doubt that it is amazing. Just wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
Long story cut extremely short, I went with virtualbox. Reasons being: Its fast, so far has supported everything I throw at it, stable, cross platform, live migration, snapshots make backup easy, easy to use, and I like it.
Now for the exciting part. How I set it up.
A few days ago I found a 22” Lcd screen that was being tossed out because it didn't work. The thought of the beauty being thrown away didn't set well with me. So I picked it up.
Before messing with it.
Most of my childhood I have built computers. But it was always from parts laying around. A motherboard/CPU from here, case from another one etc.
I finally saved up and planned out my own build from scratch. I'm posting to my blog because its a geeky milestone that every little geek must go through. A rite of passage if you will.
