I can confirm, after my last discussion with Redhat, is it better to learn KVM. Xen is going to die on redhat and centos in some years.

i'm under the impression that RH is firmly in the KVM camp (at least for now), and that learning Xen on red hat/centos wouldn't be as useful as learning KVM.
I agree. Since RH is moving to KVM, it is better to learn KVM if you have a choice.

Just curious - any idea how much longer we can expect Xen support? I don't have the hardware requirements at home to support KVM - so I'd love for Xen to stick around forever ;)

I thought they run on the same hardware. What do you feel would not support KVM?

Sorry - misleading... What I mean is, my hardware does not support native virtualization.

In some years? It is supported until support cycle is over.
So, in RHEL 5.4 due date is: 31 Mar 2014
Anyway, the same gui tools works for xen and kvm also..
