I've thought about running a Linux DOM0 and NetBSD DOMUs, but mainstream Linux seems to be abandoning Xen, so I'd have to run a back release.Wow, that's interesting. Does that imply that mainstream Xen is looking more at NetBSD, or is it just that "distros" no longer have Xen support? What does this mean for the future of Xen?'Mainstream Xen' is a slightly confusing term when it's owned by Citrix.XenServer (their commercial version, though the entry version is free) supports all the major Linux distros. These are run as HVM guests IIRC, but kernels with PV drivers are included.
Citrix are currently recruiting for people to work on their dom0 and domU Linux kernels:

Responsibilities include [...] representing Citrix and the Ring 0/1 team on Open Source mailing lists. "
