Hi, I have never used Xen. I wonder how difficult it is to install it on a Linux box (x86). Can I just recompile the kernel on a Red Hat distribution (2.4) allready installed? Will this partition then be the "host" for all the guest OSes? Can I use the same kernel on all distributions? (that is: can I use the Xen kernel which is modified to run on Xen on all Linux distributions as guest: Debian, Red Hat, Suse etc.) Excuse me if this is the wrong questions on the the wrong forum.
