I had been using FC6 on this and several other hosts with no problems, 
other than not getting Xen to a useful state.

When I started this project 9 wasn't out and the instructions in 
Virtualization for Dummies are based on 7, so I went with that.

As far as x86_64, I'm not completely certain how to tell, but it's been 
running the x86_64 FC6 image with no obvious problems.  I'd rather not 
drop back to 32-bit, since that will make use of more than 4G of 
physical memory tedious.

An InstallFest in a couple of months might be useful, but I was hoping 
to get somewhere on this sooner than that.  Perhaps I can be of some 
minor assistance when it does roll around.

I'm downloading 8, but uTorrent is predicting 12 more hours...  I'll get 
back with how this pass works out.
