For what it's worth, I plan on setting up a Xen box with an Ubuntu

Dom0 and an OpenBSD DomU Real Soon Now, as soon as I get my trashpile

computer fixed.

(It's currently running Ubuntu with faulty RAM, because I got ripped

off by some US-Americans* via ebay, and I can't afford to throw more

money at it to fix it, because I'm now long term ill AND on

wellfare**... yadda, yadda, whine, whine ;-P )
Anyway, I plan on telling the misc list if and when I manage to set

this up. Of course, dmesgs will be included.

honor or integrity.

what they're missing. :D
