Slashdot style....
No, seriously. You guys have a lot to look forward to. Xen >> UML.
That is all.

I decided to switch to a xen host (Unixshell) away from Linode and they can't admin their way out of a paper bag.
Caker please let me in the beta test!!!
Again, the public beta will be most likely be announced next week.

So I'm just popping in to put my foot in the door.
I really look forward to a mature and Linode-supported Xen hosting, although I'm not likely to join another Xen beta program right now. Hope all you guys test this really good now so that it is rock solid by the summer…
cant wait for public test
cheers

All seems to be going well and fast, except that I can't load kernel modules as opposed to whan Xen is supposed to support.
But, it's great.

Actually, while I've seen a bit of talk about being able to install guest kernel modules, but I haven't seen anything official as to being able to do so. If you are supposed to be able to with Xen, what's holding you back? I'm sure if there's a way to do it without needing special priviledges, Chris would be more than happy to get it setup. Besides, you can't do so with UML anyway, so it's not a downgrade from your UML node. Chris has also been really good about making sure almost everything is built into the guest kernels anyway.
liike the kernel has been compiled (these details aare made up cause i cant remember the exact ones) with gcc 3.4 and the modules we are compiling, even tho wee are specifiyin 3.4 keep saying they are from 3.3 and therefor wont load due to different structures and a few other things
when we work out the problem with this, module loading should be fine.. thats the only thing so far that ive had problems with on xen.. other then that its friggen fantastic! the speed.. is just unbelieveable
