What other linux dostro's are available when useing the xen-create-image command for example ubuntu hardy heron? hotchilli
ill try to explain what if do with my poor english. I allways install ubuntu server and vmware server, and then, the real server (other ubuntu server or windows, thats depends on every client). When all its installed and working, u take a copy of the entire system. Periodically, i take copies of the entire systems. If i need a bigger server, i install userver on the new server, and i just have to copy the vm... and thats all, the new server is working. If my server crashes, i get another computer and put the virtual machine on it, it quick and simple. I hope i have help you
Thanks for your post but not sure if i understand fully. to make it simple is there a way to put Hardy on etch? also mimimal with X?(iI expect since xen is transparent X will be needed on dom0 also) hotchilli
Sorry... i dont use xen. I think wanted to know the advantages of virtualization... i can help with ubuntu / vmware, but i have never use xen. Sorry man
Take a look at http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-7.10-server-install-xen-from-ubuntu-repositories It explains how to find out which distros are supported.
falko thanks for your post. I think i will stick with lenny . i was thinking of running gdm on domU lenny leaving dom0 clean x free and simple. then in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf do this; [xdmcp] Enable=true Then : /etc/init.d/gdm restart finally on dom0 run X :0 -query ipofdomU? what do you think / any suggestions? hotchilli
