So long as it has the stuff that's needed (python, python devel package, python-twisted, iproute2, bridge utils, curl devel package, zlib devel package, etc.), and you can install and boot from a Xen-ified domain 0 kernel, yes. I never used UL, so I don't know if it has all the things that are required. > Looks like a really neat program, but I am not grasping how it works. It's not a "program" per se, in that it doesn't run on top of Linux; Xen itself is a "hypervisor", or a supervisor for supervisors, that lets you partition a machine into several virtual machines and run specially-modified Linux kernels (or NetBSD, or FreeBSD, or Plan9) in each. The programs that run in domain 0 just control the Xen hyperkernel, telling it what to do. -- Derrik Pates demon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
