[Xen-users] Re: Choosing O/S for dom0 host with xen 3.2 - best option?

Will tools like virt-install work the same with xen 3.2 as with xen 3.1?
I can't persuade yum to let me uninstall CentOS 5.1's Xen 3.1 without it
removing virt-install :-( I don't know if you can install the Citrix /
XenSource RPMs alongside the CentOS ones ... ?
Actually, I was mistaken - the version of xen that is available with
CentOS 5.1 is 3.0.3:
# rpm -q xen
xen-3.0.3-41.el5.x86_64
How did you get xen 3.1 ?
Are any other distros more suitable for use with xen 3.2? I prefer
Redhat/CentOS/Fedora flavours as that's what I'm most comfortable with,
but I'm not averse to try something else if it is more appropriate.
I do all my Xen development work on CentOS 5.1 these days. That said, I
generally try to run CentOS's own Xen on the host so I haven't tried 3.2 on
there.
I generally do that too. But, I've been experimenting with being a bit
more adventurous, i.e. trying to understand how the whole xen thing fits
together rather than just relying on virt-install.
Out of interest, is there something specific you must have in Xen 3.2? Xen
3.1 turned out to be quite a good release AFAIK and supported most things
quite nicely. I generally think my CentOS Xen experience has more Zen to it
if I stick with the packages they provided ;-)
Nothing specific. I guess I'm an early adopter!
