I''ve got Xen up and running with a simple DomU, but my question is simple - should dom0 ever be used to get real work done or should it be left alone for the hypervisor? Specially, I''m interested in setting up one of each of OS CentOS, Fedora, SUSE, FreeBSD, and NetBSD for a continuous build-and-test environment. Now, obviously, a few of these OS environments could also double as the Dom0, but should it?

Considering you can have as many domUs as you like, I don''t really see much benefit to be gained from running stuff in the dom0. - Matt -- Windows is too dangerous to be left to Windows admins. -- James Riden, ASR _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
