[Xen-users] Xen 3.0 Questions

[Matthew Wolff <wolffm2002@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, I am new to the world of Xen. I realize the
purpose of this mailing list is not for you all to
answer "newbie" questions, but the Xen website ranks
me as a second rate citizen (no forum for open source
or non-commercial beginners?). 

My first impression was that I needed a modified Host
OS to run as dom0 and then I could run umodified
versions of linux (kernal 2.6 according to the wiki)
as VMs. Then I read something that says that only
certain distros are supported as domU guests. And then
I read tonight that any linux version with kernal 2.6
can run as an unmodified guest OS. So my question is
this: if I have a ported host OS (say one of the four
from the Xen website) can I run ANY linux distro
(unmodifed) as a guest OS? If not, do I need an Intel
VT/AMD-v (or whatever its called) enabled processor in
order to do so? 

Any and all information is very much appreciated!

Thank you all very much,
Matt Wolff
