Hi all. I've been using xen on SLES10 for a while now. I have 5 xen
servers, with about 30 domUs. Outside of occasional memory issues and
some config issues, I've been quite happy. 

I was just looking at XenServer 5.5 and wondering if I should install it
on a server and see how it looks. I'm sure others have already done
this. 

What are the thoughts here on the free XenServer 5.5? Good things, bad
things?

It's free right now, but I guess one of the risks is who knows how long
before they turn around and start charging for it. 

One of the features that looked interesting is ability to backup your
virtual machines through the host somehow. Not sure if that's part of
the free version or not. 

Any opinions from this list are greatly valued. 

Thanks,
James
