A couple questions though... Why not decouple the interface from Apache (as to require only python be installed)? I am not sure of the performance advantage, but it should reduce the memory requirements for dom0, allow for a slightly smaller disk (negligible), and make installation easier. Similarly have you looked into writing XenSV in C? Finally, is there any distributed computing tools for Xen, ie, a controller software? This is where my interest really lies, as I am working for a group that could use a tool like this and am also looking for a way to get involved. I haven't had an oppurtunity yet to install apache, but will be doing so soon enough.
