I have to create a system based on Xen virtualization. I entrust myself those who have experience in the field. What is the preferred distribution to install Xen hypervisor? Debian, CentOS, Fedora, Ubuntu?

Installing a distribution on x86_64 Xen hypervisor (dom0), you can install a PV guest with x86 architecture (domU), not HVM?


Got around a dozen dom0s running Centos 5 x86_64 with Xen 3.4.2 from gitco.de/repo/. No problems till now. And yes, you can use 32bit domUs on 64bit dom0 (even in paravirt mode, each domU can have its own kernel).
