Xen on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)

I have been setting up Xen based virtualization and I just wanted to post the useful links I have found. Unfortunately (at the time of this writing) there are couple of bugs in the Ubuntu repositories for Xen that can make installing and configuring Xen a bit of a headache.

This article on HowtoForge pretty much gives you everything your need to get going (even how to get around the current bugs).

This is the user manual for Xen. Unfortunately it is not very descriptive in places, but it is still a good resource.

This is the manual page for xen-create-image. It has some really great examples to base your DomU creation commands from.

Below is the Ubuntu community documentation for Xen. They still need some time to update to Hardy.
