I would recommend you to use RHEL, CentOS, SLES, Opensuse or Fedora.. those distributions are known to ship Xen and work to make it stable/usable.. Get for example Fedora 8, use it on both dom0 and on domU, and you should get things working well.. RHEL 5.1 or CentOS 5.1 should be good choises too.. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
