My starting reference was 
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/DistributionSupport, which suggests 
following the same installation procedure as for Fedora, but extended 
searches revealed other successes:

    http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-September/011447.html
    http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2005-05/msg00599.html

Should I try the RPM from a certain upstream distribution provider?  How 
do I know which version I should grab?

Thanks!
