Odd, I posted something the other day - just looked at the server log, 
and for some reason it bounced.  Guess I don't have so resend at this point.

Does that imply that it might not run pure PV?

One thing I've been wondering is, given the amount of virtualization 
related functionality that's moving into the Linux Kernel, is that 
creating divergence that makes it hard to support other kernels (notably 
BSD* and Illumos?).  It sure would be sweet to see Xen on SmartOS.
