Steve has switched to KVM <http://kvm-hosting.org/>. Thanks for xen-tools,
Steve. It's been both useful and pleasant.

Some questions for Steve:

   - Is pvopts going to solve the main issue with Xen (that preparing new
   kernels is too much work)?
   - Are there other benefits to switching from Xen to KVM other than ease
   of installation?
   - Do you think people like Amazon and other VPS providers will switch to
   KVM?


thanks,

Mike
