I was going to document my Xen server setup later on, including some
information from my testing.

To summarise - RHEL/Centos seem quite happy(!) on the xen 2.6.18
kernel whilst backporting drivers; others have forward ported Xen.
I've had all kinds of weird crap happen with Debian/Ubuntu. Fedora
Core has been trying to forward port stuff too and integrate it all
into the paravirt ops framework so I think their dom0 support has been
busted until very recently.

I'll dump this into the Wiki when I get time.

I don't recall off-hand; I'll look at my documentation later and put
it in the Wiki.
