Re: [Xen-devel] Web based front end

[David Isaac Wolinsky <davidiw@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Tom for the info, I had remembered twisted being removed but 
hadn't realized that XenSV had been since updated.  A couple questions 
though...
   Why not decouple the interface from Apache (as to require only 
python be installed)?  I am not sure of the performance advantage, but 
it should reduce the memory requirements for dom0, allow for a slightly 
smaller disk (negligible), and make installation easier.
   Similarly have you looked into writing XenSV in C?

   Finally, is there any distributed computing tools for Xen, ie, a 
controller software?  This is where my interest really lies, as I am 
working for a group that could use a tool like this and am also looking 
for a way to get involved.
I haven't had an oppurtunity yet to install apache, but will be doing so 
soon enough.
Regards,
David
