Below a quick summary of the Ubuntu Xen articles available in this blog. These articles where written and tested on Ubuntu Juanty. With the upcoming release of Ubuntu Karmic, things will likely change. The biggest gap in getting Xen to work on Karmic is currently obtaining a functioning xen patched kernel. There are a number of features that Karmic uses in very recent kernels, and there are not patched kernels available yet. I will investigate this and post here when I find out a little bit more. If you really need Xen, stick to Jaunty for now. As a plan B option where I want to use Karmic, I will install virtualbox, below you can find some details about convirting your machines to Sun VirtualBox.
