FC4 has rpms that sorta work, you can get your feet wet easily like that
to get you started, otherwise I would scour the archives and look for
the ditro you prefer. You can obtain images to test with at
jailtime.org, I am using the debian and gentoo images with excellent
results, I spun my own FC4 from the quickstart guide and used that and
some info from the Centos wiki to build Centos 4.1.

If you have ever spun a kernel than the hg stuff is the way I would
recommend for testing, for stability stick with 2.X.

I started by using the 2.0.7 install on Centos 4.1 and evolved from
their, still using that but smp guests it what makes this baby fly for
me so I run hg on and SMP machine I have.

You can also try asking in ##xen @ freenode for info on the distro you
are using as well.

Good Luck,
Ted
