They don't officially support it. But they just run a normal Xen setup. Setting up any Xen OS that supports running in domU is relatively easy. There's a few people that have already done it for FreeBSD and NetBSD.
You can try it out locally by setting up Linux and running FreeBSD in domU. Then just transfer that image to Linode.
- lsc 16y agoSo, like I do with NetBSD then? well, I guess I actually have the netbsd installer in there. freeBSD 8 requires at least xen 3.3 to run in paravirt mode; this is why it won't work on ec2, so I don't know if that counts as a 'normal xen setup' - The thing is, last I read FreeBSD8 was not stable under paravirt xen, and I was hoping to hear this had changed. Also, last I remember, it didn't work at all with more than one vcpu.
