I am presently testing these Xen and kernel packages. My initial
impression is very positive. I am able to boot into X within Dom0 on my
previously difficult hardware. Previous experiences are documented on
this list, beginning with [1]. My WiFi adapter also works. So, I
agree with Marko's statement so far, "Dom0 is now usable as a desktop
computer." I will continue to use this as my primary environment and
will report any issues I come across.

Now, the last issue remaining for me is the backend drivers. My
understanding is that, in the absence of backends being accepted
upstream, we can use QEMU-based drivers. This would be acceptable for
our work. Has anyone been using these with Fedora 15?
