     Pretty much all complex software has some kind of learning
curve.  I really don't view this as a negative.  Would you expect
to be able to setup Asterisk, Samba, any other virtual environment,
etc.  without doing some reading?

     PVHVM and PVH are in their infancy and can be ignored by most
people for now.  I certainly wouldn't include them in the HOWTO at
this point,  Also, last I knew we hadn't done much at all with PVH.
The difference is PVHVM is domU running in HVM mode, but with access
to PV devices (much more efficient since device emulation isn't
needed).  Whereas PVH is for dom0 so that it runs in an HVM like
mode.

     I do look at this every so often.  Guess I should make a point
of looking at it again.  But, right now is the busiest time of year
for me at work.
