Howdy, I'd like to play with Xen on top of a Centos 4.3 installation. I've been googling, but haven't found a nice comprehensive set of notes to get me started. I've looked at the XenSource site, a wiki site that tells you how to get CentOS working in a Xen shell (or whatever it's called). So, for a Xen newbie, does anyone have have any pointeds to notes, documentation, etc? TIA! Jeff

Using it is something I'll leave to you and others on the list. -- This message has been double ROT13 encoded for security.

However I don't plan to write anything about it just now. I want to experiment with it. myslef a few people have been thinking about it for use on cluster head nodes. It may allow us to try various OS's without having to install a new distro. Plus we can do some things with running a stable base OS and then use Xen to run some experimental stuff. Jeff
