I was thinking of something similar to XCP ... but with Gentoo as the |
4 |
Dom0. I'll call it GeDZux (Gentoo Domain Zero Linux) :P |

|

Okay, more seriously: Since Dom0 must be as efficient as possible, I |
7 |
personally think Gentoo should be one of the best. |

The problem would be how to 'streamline' the installation of a |
10 |
GeDZux-based Xen Platform. The SysAdmin already has lots of things to |
11 |
think about; he/she doesn't need to think (too much) about which USE |
12 |
flags to use, what CFLAGS to put in, which packages to emerge |
13 |
*initially*, etc. |
14 |
|
15 |
That is, how to provide sensible defaults yet not irreversibly |
16 |
removing Gentoo's freedom. So, GeDZux will be a Gentoo variant, a |
17 |
'submetadistro', if you will :P |

Just some daydream, please don't flame or ridicule me :) |
