Everyone who cloud hosts? From Amazon to Linode? http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/PV-GRUB http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/PV-GRUB I was talking about client workstations in non-technical environments where central command wants to be able to patch your OS. The Hypervisor downloads OS of the day and runs it, the OS downloads personal settings from some shared server and you have your environment on a disposable workstation.

I meant deployments of software without an operating system other than Xen. Running an operating system on Xen means that you now have the Xen kernel and guest kernel that can have bugs.

    Webservers can handle a big OS. The hardware is typically over specced as it is. You might find some utility in shrinking/streamlining the OS for embedded or mobile.
