Re: [Xen-devel] XenLinux: network access?

["Mark A. Williamson" <mark.williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

xen.gz is Xen itself - it runs at the highest privilege level and manages 
memory, CPU time and some low level hardware initialisation

vmlinuz-2.6.9-xen0 is a Linux kernel that has been built to run on top of Xen.  
It handles device drivers, the network stack, filesystems, etc.  It provides 
services to applications you run.

The distribution you run on top of the XenLinux kernel (which is on top of Xen 
itself) will be something like Debian, SuSE, Mandrake, Fedora, etc.  Things 
like SSH, FTP, HTTP servers will be provided by your distribution.

HTH,
Mark
