For what it's worth, I plan on setting up a Xen box with an Ubuntu Dom0 and an OpenBSD DomU Real Soon Now, as soon as I get my trashpile computer fixed. (It's currently running Ubuntu with faulty RAM, because I got ripped off by some US-Americans* via ebay, and I can't afford to throw more money at it to fix it, because I'm now long term ill AND on wellfare**... yadda, yadda, whine, whine ;-P ) Anyway, I plan on telling the misc list if and when I manage to set this up. Of course, dmesgs will be included. --ropers * and if you don't mind me saying it: fucking scam artist Septics. No honor or integrity. ** The Gods be praised for EU wellfare states. The Seppos don't know what they're missing. :D
