My company recently rented a server on which CentOS 5.0 is installed, 
and my goal is to set up a virtualized instance of CentOS for a new 
employee to tinker and learn on before I let him have hands on the real 
server.
    

If you are both so new to this then simply virt-install a CentOS VM. It 
will work out of the box without using brctl and what else. If not already 
in use, switch to the xen kernel for this.

I'm more familiar with KVM than I am Xen; I've managed to get QEMU/KVM virtual machines up and running, I'm just concerned about the bridging angle. Although I haven't done any configuring yet, I'm not as sure of myself when it comes to Xen, and have only dabbled a bit.

That said, if Xen will let me accomplish this with minimum fuss, then I'll happily switch to that for this virtual box. Is there anything in particular I need to look out for with Xen?

Thanks,
