I have to ask - any formal presentation/slides?
FYI - shameless plug, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 will support Xen
virtualization - RHEL 5 Beta 2 was released less than 10 days ago and
worth a peak, most folks will find it similar enough to Fedora Core 6.
The RHN Satellite product, which will have a beta release soon will
allow for creation off Xen guest and then kickstart/provisioning of RHEL
5 OS into that xen guest instance.
Cliff.
