Re: [Xen-users] Recommended Reading for Xen Hypervisor?

[Eric <epretorious@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Fajar:

I've read the RHEL5 Virtualization Guide and, while it is helpful, it's far from complete IMHO. e.g., The guidance that is given is far too general, and; libvirt's CLI tools hardly get a mention in most places (with the authors preferring, instead, to use virt-manager almost exclusively).

Most of the "old" guide should still be applicable. In fact, if you're
only interested in USING xen for common VM setup, I'd actually suggest
start with RHEL5's virtualization guide. Old, but pretty good, and
just works.
