I'm not a big fan of Redhat's version of Xen and use the Xen 3.2
packages from xen.org as it has better management features through
'xm'. You will need to compile your own for 64-bit though as they only
provide 32-bit binaries by default and if you want to run Xen as a
hosting server you really must use 64-bit, but thankfully they provide
the SRPM for it which makes that trivial.
As far as VMware goes. It works exactly as it does on Redhat
Enterprise Linux, so if you go over to the VMware forums and search
RHEL, those comments should apply equally well to CentOS.

Subject: Xen or VMWARE on CentOS 5
Does anyone out there have a comprehensive tutorial on installing
VMware and successfully managing virtual machines with either xen or
vmware?

Hi Ross
I'm looking for the same thing, but you have "stirred" somethings up in me.
If I want to setup CentOS 5.1 64bit, and make it a XEN host, then
install CentOS 5.0 / FreeBSD 6.0 / Fedora Core 7 32bit guests on it,
would it work well?
And if you say it needs to be pre-compiled, can you please tell me howto
do this? What / which files do I need, and how do I get them to work on
a 64bit CentOS 5.1?
Currently I'm busy creating a custom installation CD for CentOS 5.1
64bit, and would like to then include the re-compiled XEN components in
my kickstart. The installation CD installs the bare minimum for CentOS
to run as an OS, since we're using cPanel - which installs the rest
