The difference is trivial. It's just a question of which one gets called at startup...

Integrating w/ Xen is a bit more interesting, since we want to establish a different swap file for each box, and virt-install isn't really good at that type of build. It's not hard, but I have to find time to work on it.

I haven't had time to work on it, but I'm still hoping to get RHEL 5
working w/ Stateless Linux, inside  Xen systems. We use CFengine
onsite, and much of our systems are really only diffrentiated by
things under the control of CF. I'd love to be able to build one read-
only system, and not use many gig's worth of disk for maybe 10 bytes
difference in files.  The rest is all temporary, or NFS mounts.  We
don't even need NFS root, here.

IIRC, the latest incarnation of stateless as described on the Fedora
Wiki is using puppet in pretty much the way you'd be using cfengine; not
sure how much work it would be to switch from one to the other.
