Hi everyone,

I saw recently on some others threads that virtualization is being used by some
of you. So, i have a question : currently, i'm running a dedicated server under
Xen 3.3.1 and xen-sources-2.6.18-r12, with 11 domUs, all running Gentoo of
course, and on amd64. But, i was wondering about the used kernel version.

Indeed, these one begin to be very old, and i saw that on some other linux
distributions, the used kernel version is 2.6.25. So here are my questions :

  - why 2.6.21 stays masked on ~arch (last entry in changelog date of 31/08/2008) ?
  - is someone still working on Xen in Gentoo ?
  - i know about kvm, so is there any reason to migrate to KVM instead of Xen ?

Thanks a lot for your opinion.

Best regards.
