What
does the "xen" indicate? What's the difference between the two types
and is there any way of telling which type works best on a machine?
Thanks for the help! --Jerry
The Xen kernel is for virtualization. If you want to run guest OS
versions on your computer, the xen version is the choice to use.
I use the regular kernel version for two reasons. The xen kernel caused
my computer to go into reboot cycles before it did anything. The other
reason is I do not run virtual machines.
