Hi,

I was already able to successfully build and deploy a Nixos Xen guest
after some attempts.
Now I'm trying to install a Xen server with NixOS.
The Xen kernel in nixpkgs doesn't build at the present time
(http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/trunk/linux_2_6_32_xen)
Also I was not able to find examples of xen host configurations in svn.

My understanding was that Xen were actively employed by the Xen
developers, at least at a give time in the past
Is it still true?
Which are the "preferred" virtualization mechanism utilized by you
guys?  (If any).

Thanks,
Marco
