Dear Joseph Glanville,

Thank you very very much for your appreciation of my time and effort 
spent on writing Xen, Linux Kernel and Xen VGA Passthrough guides. Thank 
you very much.

As for the PDF document format, I think Google is indexing it. In 
addition, nowadays, almost everybody is using graphical desktops with 
X.org X server and either GNOME, KDE, XFCE, LXDE, or Unity GUI Desktop 
Environments. Even normal web surfing and reading Xen Wikis would 
require a X session.

I would be very happy and appreciative if you could hep me format my Xen 
documentation/how to/tutorials/guides on the Xen Wiki.

Thank you very much.
