My advice is to stick with the most recent LTS release as beyond
that, Ubuntu packaged Xen kernels will not work unless they are run
under a very recent dom0 host kernel, which Bitfolk will not be
supporting for quite some time.
If you really wanted to run such a release then you could do so with
a Debian Xen kernel, and it would most likely work fine.
Cheers,
Andy

I want to run a later nginx, so please let us know when you can support
a more recent release.

I would suggest adding hardy-backports to your /etc/apt/sources.list
if you want newer packages than hardy itself provides without having
to fully upgrade your release (and away from LTS). In the case nginx,
it has the same release as intrepid (0.6.32); otherwise you could
always compile it yourself!

Sure, will do. One of the tests I still have to do on the new
hardware I am preparing is to see whether Debian Lenny can support Ubuntu Xen
guest kernels from Intrepid onwards. Once two such servers are in
place I would feel comfortable offering this distribution with its
packaged kernel (two servers needed because being able to move a VPS
to another server is an option I like to give Bitfolk).
But if you really want to run a newer version of Ubuntu, as I say
the only issue is the kernel. Running a Debian Lenny kernel is not
that hard, nor is compiling your own. So that is an option.
Cheers,
Andy

You can also use apt-pinning to use an older ubuntu kernel too.
