I look forward to those tutorials! :)

I have some more n00b questions, if you don't mind. :)

- Is it easy to get Xen working on a server that's
already in production (currently functioning as a web,
app, and db server)?

- Can Xen be installed/setup/used remotely (I have
servers at LayeredTech and EV1)? Xen's screenshots
show Linux desktops.

- Know of any quickstart or "Xen for Dummies"
docs/tutorials? I'm currently working my way through
Xen's official docs.

Thanks,
Joe
