Hi there. Is there any particular reason you have chosen XEN?
VMWare also offer a free virtualisation product that allows you to create virtual machines. It is called VMWare Server. You do have to register however on their website to obtain a license, however it is completely free to use. It comes with a nice GUI and is fairly straightforward to use. I know that in the past, XEN was more difficult to configure, but since being purchased by Citrix, perhaps they have simplified the interface. |
