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!
