xen virtualization and linux distros

[Christopher Friedt]

Hi everyone,

My company would like to set up some virtualization on one of our 
multi-processor / multi-core server machines, using Xen.

I've heard excellent things about Xen. The question is, which 'distro' 
should one use with it.

I've been a gentooer for quite a while now, and believe that it's pretty 
great, even for server administration. The Xen / Gentoo documentation is 
pretty good, and they've apparently even done it somehow so that when 
you make a new image, it doesn't have to be a whole distro - only some 
basic necessities.


This is sort of a survey, but does anyone have experience using Xen for 
virtualization?

If so, which flavour of linux was used?


Are there any dis / advantages that can be highlighted?
