Re: [Xen-users] filesystem image of Fedora Core for Xen?

If I understand you, you seem to be saying that for various distributions
like Mandrake, Fedora Core, Gentoo, SuSE, etc., you are willing to produce
Xen-based (Dom 0) linux base systems and put them on line???

I was going to ask the developers of Xen to consider this as a facet of their
operation but I don't think their mandate allows them to do this or they
don't see doing this directly in line with what they are doing.  They will
be reading this so they can correct me if I am mistaken. So I have hesitated
in asking.  But there is no reason why a group of us cannot set up our own
facility working cooperatively with Xen developers and users.  We are talking
user issues here not development issues.  I would also we interested in putting
these systems onto DVDs in a manner that would facilitate their installation
on other computers.

If you are willing to build and test these Xen-based (Dom 0) linux core systems
I will make provision for hosting them.  I am currently in the process of
establishing a sattelite connection between my LAN and the Internet with
a static IP address therefore download and upload activities would be fast.
I could dedicate a machine as the server. There would be tons of hard drive
storage available. But the details we could work out.  But we would have
to also define how this facility would be set up for access but we can do
this off-list because it does not bear directly on the Xen development or
user list mandates as near as I can tell.  If we do this I would like to
stress that we should have someone on the Xen development group voluntarily
watch over and strongly influence our activities.

What do you think???

Thanks, Ted
