Re: AW: [Xen-users] Selecting a linux distro for a xen-involved project
My wrong! It should be Xen 3.2-1. My intended point was that it''s quite recent - especially compared to Etch, which uses 3.0. Next time, I''ll get the numbers right. Yes, Lenny is formally unstable. As this was for a development system, that could be acceptable, but of course not for a production system. Kernel is 2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 in my case. /Chris>> I''m using Debian 5 Lenny.
