https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen As per above article "It's also worth noting that the Xen 3.3 hypervisor is also included in jaunty. However, at the time of this writing, Xen is not officially supported in Lucid; consider using KVM instead. "
Now coming to your question Glossary section on this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen does talk of 10.10. But I have not installed in 10.10 so I wont be able to comment on correctness of it. I am sharing some experiences if you are starting with Xen hoping they help you. 1) I would suggest to ask this on Xen mailing list. http://lists.xensource.com/mailman/listinfo/xen-users (Just for better response if you get it done here that would be awesome) 2) Once you have Xen installed start with some thing known as libvirt and virt-manager and then proceed with GUI to what ever you want.It will save you a lot of time (trust me on this one). 3) In case you are completely new to Xen I would suggest you start with CentOS. (CentOS) has Xen shipped on DVD so you wont need to struggle as a newbie. Also you must be aware CentOS is nothing but RHEL with properietary softwres of RHEL and logo removed. Have a look at virtualization section on http://www.linux.com/archive/articles/61498 4) A link I feel you should have this http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Flists.xensource.com%2Farchives%2Fhtml%2Fxen-users%2F2009-10%2Fpdf3cfxeYbytr.pdf&ei=MXMlTYTlO8PIrQeSxPSADQ&usg=AFQjCNElvNlGaHsFiVN3Qox9q9r17oEvkw&sig2=-Yt9r5sXPMfHoh9NF3V4Yg 5) I remember a long time back I had struggled with Xen (a lot of hardware issues) So if you need to urgently do that go ahead with CentOS. 6) A lot of links on Xen wiki page of Ubuntu are helpful. How ever some one on this list might point to right thing. 7) http://blog.codefront.net/2007/06/26/installing-xen-on-ubuntu-feisty-fawn-the-complete-newbies-guide/ 8) I have struggled some time back have a look on threads I had started for Xen in most of my threads if I solve I surely post solutions too. http://wwww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1319850 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1320189 9) You will need to compile Xen (hypervisor) from source to be able to use on 10.10.(Some one can correct if I am wrong here) other wise if you just do apt-get install ubuntu-xen-server it will install an old version (you might try with that if you are new) 10) Do post the results when you are done even if it seems no one is reading/replying on list.I usually read all threads. It will help many of us who have used on some old version but would be interested to know for the new version on Ubuntu. 11) How ever in a production environment I have sticked with KVM on a Ubuntu LTS Server edition.Using GUI will make your life very simple. ---------------- Tapas -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
