just to follow on my earlier post, i have pointers to a couple
commercial C/W manuals for RHEL administration, but both of them use
an entire chapter discussing virtualization using Xen. i'm under the
impression that RH is firmly in the KVM camp (at least for now), and
that learning Xen on red hat/centos wouldn't be as useful as learning
KVM.
thoughts?

Since RH is moving to KVM, it is better to learn KVM if you have a choice.

I can confirm, after my last discussion with Redhat, is it better to learn KVM. Xen is going to die on redhat and centos in some years.

It is supported until support cycle is over. So, in RHEL 5.4 due date is: 31 Mar 2014 Anyway, the same gui tools works for xen and kvm also.. -- Eero, RHCE
Like i have understood, xen could be also present and support on RHEL6 and in this case, it could be supported until the cycle of RHEL 6. But is it preferable to migrate all your xen to kvm in a near furtur. Kvm is a REDHAT project and REDHAT want to put all ressources to improve and develop KVM instead of xen.
