Hi There,
Sorry, I meant 4.1.x. Who are these vendors? Debian only seems to do 4.0.x
and CentOS and Ubuntu don't offer Xen at all..
Debian Squeeze offers 4.1, as does Ubuntu 12.04.

Well look at that!! Ubuntu does indeed seem to offer 4.1!!
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64
This means that the Xen page on the Ubuntu website is wrong!!

"Ubuntu 10.04 does not come with Xen binaries so you will have to
manually download and compile Xen along with a kernel that is
suitable to work with Xen"
Hmm -- that will have to be changed. :-)
I
just assumed that future version didn't, but clearly they do.
Is anyone aware of the Ubuntu teams commitment to Xen? I always
thought that the Ubuntu folks were backing KVM...
Canonical and Ubuntu are not opposed to Xen; in fact, the Canonical
team has been pretty helpful in getting XCP working as a package you
can install in Ubuntu, and also fixing Xen-related kernel bugs. KVM
is just their default at the moment, and therefore the focus of
their own developers. So more of the burden of making sure things
work falls on the Xen community. Relationships with distros has
been a weak point of xen.org in the past; but we're trying to
address that going forward.
