You are talking about the section with the heading "2.8. PID and network 
namespaces"? I tend to wait until my distro makes new features available, 
writes the userspace config tools, etc. Since my Xen server is fedora, and 
they are still stuck on 2.6.21 for dom0 kernel, it will probably be about a 
year (fc10?) before I see the benefits of this. My more immediate problem is 
waiting for a 2.6.22 or .23 dom0 so I can start using my Intel wireless card 
with iwlwifi without rebooting into the non xen 2.6.23 kernel ;-)
