Xen on Fedora
I’m intending on adding a section on installing Xen on Fedora (and other distros) to the Xen wiki. Draft work in progress is kept here as a backup, but also as a reference.
Ideally, I’d replace this: wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/Fedora13Xen4Tutorial
I personally find the current page… unwieldy at best, with all the really long sections. Though that could just be the wiki software.
Update, Oct 22nd edition: I’ll be doing this for Fedora 16 now. It comes with Xen support backed into the kernel, and the Xen tools are built as RPMs too.

I’m keenly interested in the “X11 forwarding” part. Are you writing these in order?

Planning on it. š
Right now I’d point you at wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/Fedora13Xen4Tutorial since I’m using that as a base and expanding on it. (Also, I got tired of trying to update the Fedora 14 info that I tried to mix in.)@ on your client, followed by whatever command you want on your server (over the SSH connection) should work.
If you’re Linux only though (as in you’re already running X), ssh -X
