there is a demand for ready-to-boot virtual machine images for distros like CentOS.
FWIW my uninformed opinion as a user: I have played with Xen support in the latest RHELv5 beta and Fedora Core 6, and I think it could well be the beginning of the end of prebuilt images for most uses. With virt-manager, bootstrapping a virtual machine is as easy as providing a repository URL and a kickstart file.
Personally, I'd rather like to change my kickstart file a bit than downloading yet another (potentially untrusted) prebuilt image. YMMV.
