 Xen for Debian
 ==============
 
+Toolstack selection
+-------------------
+
+The selection of which toolstack to run can be made by editing /etc/default/xen
+and updating the TOOLSTACK variable. Note that you will need to reboot after
+doing this.
+
+The following toolstacks are available:
+ - xl: modern upstream default toolstack.
+ - xapi: an alternative toolstack from the xenserver.org project.
+ - xm: the older legacy upstream toolstack.
+
+xl and xm are part of the xen-utils packages, while xapi is provided by the
+xcp-xapi packages.
+
 Config behaviour
