The Xen kernel is for virtualization. If you want to run guest OS 
versions on your computer, the xen version is the choice to use.

I use the regular kernel version for two reasons. The xen kernel caused 
my computer to go into reboot cycles before it did anything. The other 
reason is I do not run virtual machines.
