[CentOS] Xen or VMWARE on CentOS 5

[Ross S. W. Walker]

I'm not a big fan of Redhat's version of Xen and use the Xen 3.2 packages from xen.org as it has better management features through 'xm'. You will need to compile your own for 64-bit though as they only provide 32-bit binaries by default and if you want to run Xen as a hosting server you really must use 64-bit, but thankfully they provide the SRPM for it which makes that trivial.

As far as VMware goes. It works exactly as it does on Redhat Enterprise Linux, so if you go over to the VMware forums and search RHEL, those comments should apply equally well to CentOS.

Does anyone out there have a comprehensive tutorial on installing VMware and successfully managing virtual machines with either xen or vmware?
