[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#1006418: #1006418: Linux stubdomains?

[Elliott Mitchell]

Not a proper In-Reply-To since that message ended up /somewhere/ and I'm
thus going back to the bug DB for this reply.


I guess I'm neutral-ish on Linux versus Mini-OS for doing stub domains
for Debian on Xen.  I suspect development on Xen's Mini-OS isn't all that
active.  On the flip side due to its limited requirements, Mini-OS might
not need much updating.

My major concern is can current Linux kernels be made small enough for
this to be worthwhile?  I've done some small Debian domains and they
really want a minimum of 192MB of memory, which seems a bit large.

Really the big issue seems to be someone simply needs to play with this
a *lot* in order to figure the thing out.  The information which is out
there isn't easy to understand.

I suspect the simplest may be to examine Qubes OS as they have figured
the thing out.
