it all depends on their driver support. they do ether
but punt on video. since ethernet drivers are becoming
more and more trivial while video is the real stumbling block,
it's not clear that xen is so useful.
as for running auth server, fs, and terminal on one laptop,
just do it natively -- you don't need three separate kernels
anyway, as long as fs == fossil.
