I am excited about CentOS 6.x though. Aren't there supposed to be some neat new features etc for virtualization and cloud computing?
this could be the start of a dangerously long thread nonrelated to OP. Why not start a new thread with 'CentOS-6 interesting upcoming features' :)
Your right.

There is a distinct shift towards KVM as the virt-platform of choice, but I still feel the management tools around it are not quite 'there' as yet. Having said that, its also mportant to point out that Xen isnt going away. Its just that you would need to use CentOS-5 to host the dom0, and you can still run DomU's on CentOS-6. So atleast some part of the Xen is going away panic is unfounded.

Spot on KB, I like KVM but the management tools are just not quite there, unless your a big installation and can run RHEV on a windoze server. I know they are moving towards an open source RHEV implementation but it appears that it will take awhile to get there. I still plan to use KVM but will just manage with the cli or egads virt-manager for now for my small installations.

Someone who is a "Former Red Hat Technical Support Engineer" started helping in the CentOS forums yesterday. This post by him may be relevant to the current thread:
