Xen requires hardware support from the processor, that much I know. And I think my Core2 Quad should be such a processor. If it's not my options get fewer and thus easier.

Do you want run any packages on this machine which are not part of the distribution, Mediawiki for example? In such a case the long-term support is of limited use only. Web stuff like apache and php, but also MySQL evolve rather quickly, and within two or three years the newest version of the Wiki package might not well install any more. I currently have this problem with SLES9. For a LAMP system running a recent distribution might be the better choice. Günther

IME there is not difference between SLED10 and SLES10 as far as Xen is concerned. This might be different with SLED/S11. But then SLED10 has still more lifetime left than any version of OpenSUSE.
