Jimmy,

I've got a box at home for testing.  Gigabyte M/B with 8GB RAM.  CentOS 5.1 x86_64
If you've got > 4GB RAM I understand you have to use a 64bit distro.

I've got not problems running it.  Been going a couple of months.

After install just type:
 yum install kernel-xen

Cheers
Chris

Nick,

After I sent out this email I had second thoughts. Basically what I would like to know is if I can install a fresh OS then install xen from pre-compiled packages that will work on my hardware.  I don't mind compiling and configuring but its my second option.

I like SLES10 (SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10) because they've done some good things with VM management (though they don't always have the latest versions of all of the apps).  Personal preference, though - the "best host" version of Linux is very, very subjective.

Hi!

Anyone have a suggestion which version of Linux would be the best host? We typically use Ubuntu but we are flexible since we want the best performance and the least amount of headaches getting it installed and working.

Thanks,

Jimmy
