Hi,
I am not using any special hardware to run Xen on SuSE 9.2
Professional. I just installed SuSE 9.2 into the Intel P4 2.4Ghz
with 1GB RAM and about 40GB disk. The amount of RAM is
what limits the number of xen domains running in the hardware.
And I am not using Xen from SuSE, instead I downloaded the
tar gz package and installed from source. Far better, IMO.
