"was booting it on a VM at work, before realising I misread Dom0 as DomU...former refers to a Xen hypervisor, not a guest...it booted and installed the same as a standard ISO."
For so many of us that would be an automatic fireable offense. I hope OP has the autonomy to do that and remain unscathed.

- Symbiote 2y agoCan you elaborate? I'm not familiar with Xen, and I don't see the connection to getting fired for making the 'wrong' VM.
- crote 2y agoRunning personal toy VMs on work servers is generally frowned upon.
- tmottabr 2y agoit is not always frowned upon. It is a big NO in prod servers. But most companies have less critical or testing environments available where people have some more space to play with. And some teams like support, QA, Dev, etc usually have their own vm servers available to play with. Where i work support analysts even had their personal servers they could do whatever they wanted, within reason of course. They still have access to VMs at AWS that they can start and destroy at will, but now there is just a few base images to choose from.
- Sharlin 2y agoNot sure what that means either, but boy American firing culture sure is crazy.
- msla 2y agoIt certainly is if you're motivated to take random Internet comments seriously.
- alimbada 2y agoIf booting an ISO in a controlled test environment (implied by author specifying they are booting on a VM) is a "fireable offence" where you work then I pity you for having to work in such a draconian environment.
