>From personal experience and also as reported by others, Xen package support
in gusty is quite good, even on amd64. You should look at the
ubuntu-xen-desktop-amd64 and ubuntu-xen-server-amd64 meta packages.

If you run into problems, report bugs on the appropriate packages, they tend
to be fixed quickly.
