Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

I am very glad to hear it is coming. :) Hope we can see it in the FC5-test3 
x86_64 packages.

I am not sure how common used my machine is. :( But it can work with latest Xen 
+ 2.6.12 kernel in the RHEL4u2 or FC4. So the new problem may be related with 
new kernel 2.6.15? I can fire a new bug about it. My testing machine is SMP 
enabled.

Em. If we can found some changeset info in changelog or other way, it may bring 
some help to customers and developers. :-)
