[Xen-users] Advice on OS/Xen Combination

[Tony Clark <tony.clark@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

I run a system with multiple linux instances under UML and am looking  
to phase this out in favour of a Xen based solution.  The hardware is  
a Dual Xeon 2.4 / 4GB Dram, RAID 5 system with an Intel main board  
and the tasks in the instances are not particularly heavy.
I've previously tried the Suse 9.3 packaged version, which ran just  
fine.  More recently, I tried the FC4 Xens and had very little luck  
making it work at all.  I'd appreciate any pointers on which  
distribution would best support the system; as much as possible I'd  
like to be 'out of the box' on this for supportability reasons.
If I had a wish list, I'd be wanting:
* It to be solid above all else
* VLAN Support to segment the network
* The ability to run *BSD instances as well as others
* GFS Support in Dom0 to cluster a couple of machines and create some  
failover
Ambitious, I know, but I need to dream :) .  Experiences anyone?


Thanks in advance,

Tony
