Hi Lynn,

Thanks for the reply, but i am left with the question: has *anyone*
deployed Xen in a production environment yet?  We customers can't get
SLES 10 yet, and SUSE 10.1 is still in beta.  I would much rather have
embarked on this project with SLES 10 than SUSE 10, but i need to start
it now, not in 3 months.

Is there a way the current Xen preview can be used on SUSE 10, or is
SUSE 10.1 close enough to release to be used in production?  (My target
applications are basic web, proxy, vpn, and mail services.)

Regards,
Paul
