Xen users - Jul 2006 - I read "Only one graphic desktop", but where?

I read that Xen should be thin and only installed was necessary.
I read that only one GUI can be.
Now I wonder how I install that.

Should I install the GUI on Dom0 or on my "main" DomU ???

So far I have installed:
Ubuntu server on Dom0
debootstrap Ubuntu on DomU1 (not working yet)

bye

Ronald

Depends on what you are doing and how critical your system is. As it
sounds, you intend to do desktop stuff. I run Xen on some Dektops with
X on dom0 without a problem.

But I would not install X11 on a dom0 that acts as a critical system
in my infrastructure.

That''s not exactly it.

You can access your graphics hardware only once - either in dom0 or in
one domU.
But you can run a vncserver on any domu and access X11 with it from
dom0(or whatever domain you choose to configure the one possible
graphics hardware access.

Hmm, maybe you should, before going to further topics, see how you
setup a simple domu correctly, before going further to vnc and pci
passthrough topics.
