You should take a look at Fedora's release notes on virtualisation :
* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Fedora8VirtQuickStart : Fedora 
Core 8 uses Xen 3.1
* tomorrow Fedora Core 9 will be released and includes Xen 3.2 : see 
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9preview/en_US/sn-Virtualization.html 
and http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=7
I think about Fedora as the platform where Xen is the most well 
integrated (think about libvirt : a virtualization API which supports 
Xen fully and will continue to do so. See 
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-xen/2007-November/msg00106.html).
Of course CentOS is a good choice too because it's a RedHat clone, which 
is itself built upon the work on Fedora.
