Hi there,

I am JUST starting out in Xen, and was wondering which download is best to use for the barebones hypervisor? For my typical day to day stuff I use CentOS 5.x which has Xen included....

Now it is my unfamiliarity with Xen, but would that install the hypervisor withe centos Dom0 (which is a guest right - in technical terms anyways)?

Or is that some sort of Xen installed over top?

I am just trying to get as bare metal on the base OS (like the vmware ESXi).

Thanks in advance.

Everyone will have their preference but CentOS works fine for a Xen platform. You might want to update the Xen included though by adding the gitco repository. The rpms for Xen 3.3 are there.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use Windows."
Now they have two problems.
