    I don't know if there is a consensus but so far my experience with
Debian's implementation of Xen has been less than stellar.  I am having
a severe problem getting it running on Etch on my router/server.  So
much so that it is doing things I don't think Xen is supposed to do! 
Meanwhile I tested it on my laptop, also Debian Etch, and it worked
first time.

    As much as I loathe not recommending Debian or its children I think
CentOS is the most stable right now.  Seems like the boys in red are
really doing their hardest to make Xen a true part of the base set with
very robust integration and support.
