If I read correctly - the 5.2 release will have xen 3.0 Does that mean I will be able to run vista as guest operating system? I seem to remember reading that vista could be run under xen 3.0 I have found instructions for installing XP under xen 3.0 in Debian, so I'm hoping it vista on CentOS 5.2 will also be possible ?? There's only a small handful of apps I need/want - but they don't do well under wine (IE garmin software for putting maps on my GPS) - and I don't want to dual boot.

I don't understand what you mean by '5.2 will have xen 3.0' .. i didn't know the goal was to step back in the past ... ;-) CentOS 5.1 contains already xen 3.0.3 (and xen-libs contains backported features from Xen 3.1) ... What you'll not have actually is the PV drivers for Windows DomU .. but they're announced by Red Hat and they will probably be released after 5.2 ... PS : i've seen them this week at a Red Hat partner summit .. but they are still in alpha .. but funny to see that device manager from Windows reports a 'RHEL scsi disc controller' and a 'RHEL PV nic driver' ... ;-) -- Fabian Arrotin <fabian.arrotin at arrfab.net> "Internet network currently down, TCP/IP packets delivered now by UPS/Fedex ..."

Either would work fine. You would need to do an install of Windows anyway into the virtual machine, right? -- Travis Fraser <travis at snowpatch.net>
