Hi!

 I believe that if we can do something like that...:

echo "deb http://xen.org/debian stable xcp" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xcp.list
echo "deb-src http://xen.org/debian stable xcp" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xcp.list

aptitude update
aptitude install xen-cloud-platform    # or via some tasksel to install XCP...
aptitude update ; aptitude dist-upgrade -y    # To get the new version of the XCP

...will be awesome!

 Don't you guys think?
 I'm a BIG Debian fan, so, I'm a suspect to talk...

Cheers!
Thiago

The idea of Xen Clout Platform is that it includes the full integrated platform that is tested as a whole:

- Linux distribution (CentOS)
- Dom0 kernel (2.6.27 based on SLES11 kernel-xen)
- Xen hypervisor (3.4.x)
- Management toolstack (xapi)

So if you change the distribution to Debian, then it would be kind of a different product :)
 
Yet there's no reason the platform shouldn't be linux distribution agnostic.

The choice of linux distribution (and for that matter dom0 kernel and xen version) is arbitrary, and just
happens to be what we test and develop on.
