Jeff,

Â Â The bloat is exactly why I personally prefer ubuntu over CentOS. They have the JeOS where you can install a functional machine in under 300MB disk and 128MB ram. But trying to get the OMSA stuff installed for a Dell server on anything but a rpm based distro is near futile. So alas, I am having to deal with CentOS. One good thing about Xen is you can have ready made images. This is one thing I have found myself using more and more recently.

I generally forget how to install CentOS on Xen each time I do it since I rarely install anymore. The beauty of Virtualization is you're always using the same "hardware" so you can customize one installation and just use that as a base. In that case I can justify figuring out what I don't need and uninstalling it.
