Re: [Xen-users] Xen substituting UML

["Leonardo Pinto" <leonardo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

Much thankful by your attention. Forgives me all of this list for my bad

the Xen project?! A colleague of a list (linux-br@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
spoke here that the Xen does not support above of 4 GB of RAM. That is
truth?

Greetings,

Leonardo Pinto.
