Someone will correct me if I am wrong :D

The free xen is made up of 2 components, the hypervisor which is what  
the BIOS boots, and a customised Linux kernel that boots dom0
So it kindof goes _under_ an OS, but also as part of the OS.

The easiest way to use it is with a Linux distro that already  
supports Xen as dom0.
