I can only agree. Except for a desktop setup dom0 should do nothing except acting as an administrative domain. Besides the potential memory issues that were mentioned, it gives increased security. If a dom0 is compromised, all other domains are also tainted. On my machines dom0s get fairly little memory and doesn't run much besides a heavily protected SSH daemon. -- Daniel _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
