You could pull it out, tweak for whatever distro you have, and it would do the job, I think. If that works, we'd love the changes back so we can lift other instances of your particular linuxes in the future. </p> <p>We provide a bundled Debian Sarge template with the product too. If you install it, and use apt get to pull down the packages you need, then pull in your code, you should be off to the races. We'll move to Etch as soon as we're done testing. Guess you could even turn Deb into Ubuntu.</p> <p>Best, Simon Crosby, CTO XenSource</p> There’s a bundled p2v script in our free XenExpress product http://www.xensource.com/xenexpress.

You'll still have to do the occasional rev to the host system for new kernels and what not.</p> While I don’t have an answer for your question, and I really really like the idea of moving stuff into virtual images, I still don’t think it’s a cure all.
