    That's a bit misleading, don't you think? 3.0, 3.1 & 3.2 AFAIK has a
    quite a few different features.


Yeah I think that it can be a little confusing. I don't think that a lot changes from release to release except for new features usually

Each new release has a detailed list of new features:

    I want to see what is different, and the manual is / would be a good
    place to start. Unfortunately a lot of stuff on the wiki is
    outdated and
    doesn't even work "as-in" in Xen 3.1.


There are probably some places where things should be clarified and worked on, but that is why it is a wiki right?

We have a book that has been release on safari online and should be printing soon. We are also working on a companion website ( http://runningxen.com/ )

Usually if you bring problems to this list, people can point you in the right direction as to where to look to find out the details.

Do you have specific things you are looking for? Do you have a need to run any specific version(s)?

Best Regards,
Todd

Hi Todd

Thank you for the detailed information. I need to / want to run a CentOS5.1 x64 host, and then run 32bit Linux and FreeBSD, Windows guests on it. I've followed / tried to follow the examples on the Wiki with very little success, the only guest installation I've managed to get working is CentOS 5.1 x64, the 32bit versions gave me some errors to setup, so someone suggested I upgrade Xen to 3.2 (which I have no luck with either) and use some of the pre-build images on jailtime.org.

I realize 3.2 is very new / fresh, but I would really like to get this kind of setup working
