XEN is a virtualization technology which allows you to run other OS's and
distro's on the main OS - very similar to VMWare. Check out
http://www.xen.org for more info on it.

CentOS is a development version, what gives you the idea it isn't?
Whether I use CentOS or Fedora Core doesn't make much difference in this
instance. Both are Red Hat based, and the procedure would be the same. I use
both, and just happen to have FC8 installed right now. Needless to say, the
suggestion to come here will be the same, since Ubuntu is a debian based
system, and differs quite a bit from the rpm based systems.

Why would it be a surprise? Have you setup any virtual servers before? Do
you know how they operate?
