Re: [Xen-users] xen 3.2.1 + intel quad core + 8gigs of ram + linux

Jimmy,

SLES10, CentOS 5.1, and RHEL5U1 all come with Xen as pre-compiled packages.  You should be able to do a fresh install with any of these and install the Hypervisor tools, as well.

Nick,

After I sent out this email I had second thoughts. Basically what I would like to know is if I can install a fresh OS then install xen from pre-compiled packages that will work on my hardware.  I don't mind compiling and configuring but its my second option.

I like SLES10 (SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10) because they've done some good things with VM management (though they don't always have the latest versions of all of the apps).  Personal preference, though - the "best host" version of Linux is very, very subjective.

Hi!

Anyone have a suggestion which version of Linux would be the best host? We typically use Ubuntu but we are flexible since we want the best performance and the least amount of headaches getting it installed and working.

Thanks,

Jimmy
