Thank you for your response.  A couple of other questions, maybe I just
worry too much, but how long does it usually take the xen developers to
release a patch for a fixed kernel when an issue is found?  Also, where
would a good place to get patches from be?


xen and security updates and fixes is an interesting topic, didn't
worry about that too much yet because I currebtly don't run any public
services on xen.

New xen versions (which are releases of xen hypervisor, utils, and a
patched linux kernel) come to the xensource or the .uk download
locations, I guess nearly at the same time.

At least, on dom0 you shouldn't run any services anyway but xen. But
there's more to think of, for sure.
