Hi,

I'm trying to decide if I want to use the XCP iso or go via xcp-xapi on
Ubuntu 12.04. Right now I cannot decide because I couldn't find out what
XCP actually *is* under the hood. In the wiki it says that the iso is
build on a Centos5 kernel, but what about the rest? I mean, is it
actually a CentOS Linux with XCP on top? Or what else?

I'm asking because I want to be able to do some stuff in the dom0:

* hardware-RAID monitoring (areca)
* snapshot a running system and rsync the data to a remote location
* handle configuration parameters via Puppet
* ...

So if XCP iso is actually a CentOS, I should be able to do this. If not
-- I don't know?

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Cheers, Andreas.
