Forgive my intrusion here on the topic but may I ask why you are 
replacing commercially supported drivers with "pre version 1" drivers?
Is the Citrix product actually worse than the OSS product?

I ask because I have been trying to figure out design for a small 
virtual server system (3-4 boxes with single Quad Core "Commodity" 
mother boards) to run a mix of both windows and Linux servers. I have 
been looking hard at Xen (both Citrix and OSS) so I am interested in 
your thoughts if you would care to provide any.
