[Cialug] Laptop Upgrade

Been noodling this a lot, I think that Xen & SuSE are what I want to
explore for a laptop install (new laptop).

Initial goal is DomUs (SuSE, Win7), .. with possibly others in the future.

There are some notes online supporting such a configuration, but there
seem to be two big hurdles:

> HW support for the Xen Dom0
> Building a DomU from the Win7 installation (i.e. P2V)

Anyone have experiences to share? The fallback would be SuSE and VB,
however FWIK the P2V is more complicated, and may be an issue with Win7.

	TIA,
