I have now released source packages for OpenXCI, my Xen-based desktop hypervisor distribution, which will include GPU passthrough support that is a bit easier to use than that of stock Xen on a general-purpose dom0, as well as switching of VMs with key combinations similar to XenClient. I am going to release an install ISO soon.


The packages are available from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/openxci>. OpenXCI is based on Debian 6.0, so that is what they are intended to build on. I have only released packages that are new or have been changed from the versions in stock Debian 6.0 (Mercurial repositories for the new packages are available as well as tarballs). I haven't yet fully documented my additions to Xen, but configuring OpenXCI is mostly similar to configuring a stock Xen 4.1 install that uses the xl toolstack. I am going to write documentation explaining all the differences from stock Xen before I release an ISO.
