Re: [Xen-users] filesystem image of Fedora Core for Xen?

My nose is plugged - I have to breath through my mouth.

I'm glad you think such a project is "cool" -- so do I, maybe others, maybe
not.

Because Xen is in development (with a so called stable version) is all the
more reason to promote Xen not a reason to shy away from it.  In addition,
Xen is part of several related projects like Xenoboot for example and a larger
and impressive perspective of networking.  Therefore supporting Xen in a
way is also supporting the other Cambridge projects aimed at the betterment
of networking of which Xen is a part.  Anyway, I have complete confidence
in the Xen development team.  Also, I see no harm to anyone and only help
to others in providing this service if it is an acceptable one as far as
the development team is concerned.  I have not heard from them yet on this
issue -- they are probably busy making the greatest product ever.

Thanks - Ted
