    How much RAM does Proxmox need ?

    The rule of thumb is, more RAM the better. You could run guests with 128MB RAM, but you will start to swap to disk fairly quickly if the VM is busy. A proxmox server with 1GB RAM is going to be very limited in the number of guests it can support, especially if your using KVM rather then OpenVZ.

    Host runs iptables for the VPS-es?

    If the VM has an internal IP address and you are accessing the FTP service via the internet, you will need to specify a port range for PASV commands in the ftp configuration and forward the range to the IP of the VM. For proftpd.. http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/passive_proftpd.html For...

    KVM FreeBSD timing

    I haven't tested for 7.2-RELEASE, only 7.1-RELEASE. /boot/loader.conf should contain a couple of other lines as well which should not be removed, the line I posted above should be added to the end of whatever is there by default when you install.

    Survey: Proxmox VE Kernel with or without OpenVZ?

    Agreed, but I believe the real strenght of this project is the intergration of both virtualization technologies into a single product. Dropping OpenVZ support would be a big blow to the project and userbase in general. Is it possible to upgrade KVM to the newest release (KVM-88) under 2.6.24...

    KVM FreeBSD timing

    Er, not sure what happened there (i'm no freebsd expert) but it shouldn't of caused that problem. Did you leave all the other lines in /boot/loader.conf and just add it as a new line at the end of the file? No spaces/etc? Maybe try removing all the custom clock settings you have implimented...

    Survey: Proxmox VE Kernel with or without OpenVZ?

    Tom, What about providing 2 kernel choices during the installation process, one defined as KVM/OpenVZ (2.6.24) and the other as KVM only (2.6.30+)? I would hate to lose the ability and functionality of OpenVZ VMs, but if these limitations were selectable during the installation process it...

    KVM FreeBSD timing

    Try adding this line into /boot/loader.conf and rebooting, it solves timing issues under pfSense (FreeBSD 7.1)/KVM for me.. hint.apic.0.disabled="1" Let me know if that helps, cheers

    Random Restarts

    My guess would be faulty RAM, bad power/power supplies or heat issues. Running lots of different hardware setups with different KVM/OpenVZ guests with no issues. Try some testing tools like memtest86+ or mprime

    firewall

    I use pfSense as well to protect all our proxmox servers, runs great under KVM and very small footprint. Highly recommended!

    Help in Installing NIC Card

    Do yourself a favour and pick up an Intel gigabit NIC (PCI or PCI-E), they are supported out of the box and much less hassle then using flaky onboard network controllers. Having a reliable/well supported NIC for virtualization is extremely important, don't cheap out on this important component.
