Re: [Xen-users] K/Ubuntu 11.04 or DEBIAN based ditro and XEN 4.1 - Possible?



Hi,

Do you have a reason to move to 2.6.38? What functionality are you seeking?
Debian Squeeze + Xen 4.0.1 + 2.6.32 stock is very stable and fast.

If you can describe what you are trying to achieve I might be able to
assist you in more detail.

Joseph.
