This is getting confused.

Okay, you were talking about DomU but I sort of thought you would be interested in doing Dom 0.  I looked at the site you provided and (forgive me if I got it wrong as I often do) that is nothing to do with Xen. I want to find people -- if there are any -- interested in building an Xen-based (linux [Fedora, SuSE, Debian, Mandrake and the rest]) Dom 0 system installations in a way that they can be downloaded or put on DVD as an installation disk -- a kind of distribution if you will. In my opinion this would be a real service I could supply to the Xen community as I know of many people struggling to get Xen working or even afraid to try because of the time involved if problems turn up as they do for many.  At least with working models they would be over the Dom 0 threshold and maybe looking at DomU issues. Right? A fully working (all tools based on most recent stable versions) and NO CHARGE service is what I am talking about consistent with Open and Free software development.  If there are such people then I would provide the facilities -- FREE.  So my previous email still stands and it looks as if you are not interested in participating in such an effort.

Thanks -- Ted

 If I understand you, you seem to be saying that for various distributions
like Mandrake, Fedora Core, Gentoo, SuSE, etc., you are willing to produce
Xen-based (Dom 0) linux base systems and put them on line???
    

no, that is domU, not dom0

  
 
 I was going to ask the developers of Xen to consider this as a facet of
their operation but I don't think their mandate allows them to do this or
they don't see doing this directly in line with what they are doing.  
    

I think everything is fine. if you ever used QEMU, you must know the
site hosting the qemu images (www.freeoszoo.org) ? the situation is
same here.
