Thanks. I hear Novell are putting a lot of effort into Xen and they have
some nice integration of it into their OS.
If I want to build some servers using Xen, which needs to run several
flavors of Linux - lets say various RedHat based distros - and I have
not used Xen before, nor do I want to invest too much into learning it
(I have other stuff I need to do ;-) ), and performance/security isn't
top issue, what OS would you recommend I use as basis (dom0, right?) ? I
would appreciate it if you can recommend a free (as in beer)
distribution as well as what would be my best bet if I'm going out and
buying something.
Thanks.
