Re: [Xen-users] Xen Hypervisor ISO Download



If I install CentOS w/ the virtualization build, would it be a
barebones OS?  I don't want a GUI slowing the system down and would
like all the hardware to be utilized by the VMs instead.  For
instance, ESXi is command line only, very basic OS install.
