February 6, 201412 yr I was following the "Should Lime Technology make unRAID CentOS 64-Bit Edition?" and the "64 Bit unRAID running natively on Arch Linux with full hypervisor support" topics but neither have been updated since the release of unRAID 6 beta. Are these projects dead? I was really looking forward to running unRAID on a full blown distro.

As of right now it looks like limetech is keeping with the minimalist Slackware64 based approached. I prefer it that way but others may not. Just use unRAID 6 with Xen and get a VM of your choice up and running. There is already an Arch based VM appliance put out by Ironicbadger
February 7, 201412 yr The projects aren't dead, but it makes sense to focus on getting v6 beta right first. Educating users on what Xen can do, and how to do it is taking up all my free time at the moment. Running unRAID as part of another distro is not dead, but it's benefits are somewhat diminished with the release of v6 and it's ability to act as the host device for VMs. As said above, I have already put out a very straightforward appliance VM that just requires a handful of terminal commands to get working. I think the appeal of unRAID on a proper distro is still there, and when the time is right I will be working with Tom where I can to make this happen as far as I can but it's not my party - I'm just a guest here. Tom is very busy with v6, and has no time for my side project and I totally get that right now. I'd kill for unRAID baked in to be an official option, but for now it just isn't.

Could you please point me in the right direction as I'm new to virtualization and would like to understand what it might be able to offer me?! My current setup is pretty vanilla UnRAID but I do use Sickbeard and Sabnzbd+ on my PC to transfer files to my UnRAID so my first plan was to move this to the UnRAID server at some point. I don't think virtualization is necessarily required in this instance but I'm curious to understand what other things I could do with it?! Thanks. EDIT: I just saw this thread: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=31606.0;topicseen so just let me know if there's anything else I should review. Thanks.
