Personally, I do most of my work on Debian, and my production
servers are still running Lenny and Xen 3 - so my experience is
dated (and about to get refreshed):
- the basic install is easy: simply an apt-get of the current package
- there's a bit of trickiness in getting all the various
configuration stuff right - in lots of places (from kernel
parameters in Grub and on - and I expect this has changed again,
what with grub changes going from Lenny to Squeeze) - there are
things to worry about like memory ballooning, pinning VCPUs, time
sources, etc. -- make sure to read through http://wiki.debian.org/Xen
All my systems are Debian (mostly Squeeze now) apart from one.
Xen is fairly easy to set up, and I think if you stick to simple
stuff then it's little more than "apt-get install
xen-hypervisor-<something> xen-tools-<something>". "apt-cache search
xen-hypervisor" will show you the package versions available.
The main niggle (as already hinted at) is that Grub2 defaults to
putting Xen boot options after native kernels. The easy fix for that
is to change the name of the files in (IIRC) /etc/grub so that the
Xen config file comes before the native kernels (Linux) config file.
Initially, avoid trying to get PyGrub working. Just copy the DomU
kernel and initrd to Dom0 and boot from those. PyGrub does mostly
work, but it can be a bit fiddly getting the right version of Grub
that will run in a DomU - the version in Stable (Squeeze) bombs out
as it can't understand the disk setup.

Gee Sigmund, ... Bravo !
I am sure Basil Fawlty would have a field day with this line.
You should get away from that hot server air and AMD processors
you're running.
What I heard they are made in Dresden Sachsen DE.
Those chips tend to de-gass (an old habit of chips made there) a lot
compared to Intel and it can easily place a normal person in DomU if
you use the server air to blow dry your hair every morning before
you go look in the mirror to figure out who you are.
Just good advice.
Sorry, but you really are not doing yourself any favours. You posted
an (IMO) suboptimally worded request which resulted in some flames.
If you continue with insults then you merely confirm to some people
that you aren't to be taken seriously and perhaps aren't worthy of
help - there are people who require help and who are able to put that
sort of thing to one side, if someone has to choose who to give their
time to, then the polite and rational person is likely to win.
