Then it is very simple; I hope that 'Xennite' or what ever the number of
the beast is, hopefully has lower demands. If stubdom is only to be more
secure, please... that is the only thing I do not worry about these
days, I see far bigger bugs.

With VMWare releasing ESXi for free; I really wonder what the impact will
be on the userbase of Xen, especially the 'big implementations', that like
small solutions.
