I think that's what I used when I was goofing with Xen on Debian. It wasn't
rocket science I am happy to admit.

Currently Debian or Ubuntu Server on account of the no-cost price tag.

If you use Citrix XenServer (free edition with no support) you can't patch
the XenServer from XenCenter, you have to download and apply patches by
hand at the CLI. Kinda defeats the object of using a management GUI...
