I'd recommend you use Debian as well.  Ubuntu seems to be abandoning Xen in favor of KVM (?), and the packages aren't being maintained well.  The last time I tried to build an Ubuntu Xen server, I gave up after two hours of fighting packages.

I have several Debian Dom0s in production, though, and they work great!  Also, the general configuration has not changed all that much in the last year or so, or between debian-based distros, so many of the older howtos still work for the most part (like how to use HVM or GPLPV.  Not sure about stubdom, I really need to learn that...)

Thank You,

Hi Niels Jende,

> well, I gave the ubuntu-default-xen a try, but this package couldn't
get find. Maybe it is obsolete??? Who knows...However, I found
ubuntu-server-xen and installed that instead. However, I installed, as
far as I can say, all xen packages and now I'm looking for some sort of
a HowTo. Haven't found one yet for Ubuntu Server 9.04 aka Jaunty.
Shouldn't I need a XEN-Kernel?

Yes, you need a "-xen"-kernel at least in Dom0. I personally use Debian,
thats why I don't know how the packages are called in Ubuntu.

In Debian you have the choice:

- Install "linux-image-2.6-xen-amd64/i686" and the suggested xen-hypervisor.

or: "Nichts ist besser als Handarbeit"

As soon as "xm info" is running without problems. You have successfully
installed and started Xen.
