Hi guys, what distribution do you recommend, if you want to run producive systems on it. i got a cluster with two sles10sp2 nodes - but i''m not that satisfied. The migration of my windows-systems are not working in an acceptable way and the pv-drivers for win of suse are not a speed boost at all. Well I could spend big money for Xen Enterprise or VirtualIron - but - do I really have to spend that money? So - let me know - what you think.

Vadim, You might want to search the archives for GPLPV. The GPLPV drivers James Harper makes are considered beta and not production beta, but I believe many people use them for production. They might work with migration by now, and I believe they are as fast or faster than some of the pay options (but I don''t know from experience, I recommend searching the archives as I said to see tests others have done). Also, I believe said drivers should work with your distro as well, in fact, it seems like someone recently may started working with James to make them work with Sun even. If you want to try another distro, you can, but since Xen is a hypervisor, I wouldn''t think it would make that much difference aside from stability/functionality of dom0. Personally, I use Fedora 8, but I would be using CentOS if it supported my hardware.
