Keir, Ian, Steven and I are all in the Computer Laboratory
at University of Cambridge. In the Laboratory, the only
Linux distribution (i.e. the official one) is Redhat. Therefore,
XenoLinux's default configuration may be a little bit
'Redhat-inclined'.

However, I personally test Xen and XenoLinux with Debian
on my laptop (which somehow proves Xen's quite safe ;-)
And I don't see any configuration problem at all.
As for Suse, your mileage may vary.

All the patches are applied to the unstable tree. We are
very careful about what to put into the 1.1 tree (attention:
the 'release candiate' status has been removed.)

Patches fixing serious bugs are applied to 1.1 tree too.
New features/tools are only available in unstable.

Under top directory of your repository, use 'bk changes'
to see a list of change sets. Or, immediately after a
'bk pull', use 'bk csets' to see all the details you have
'pulled' in. ('bk csets' requires X Window.)
