I've been playing with Xen for the past couple months. Under FC5 it's very easy to use and maintain, albeit a few bugs here and there. Currently I'm running three guests (called DomainU's in Xen parlance) with moderate activity. The host (Domain0) should be configured with LVM for best results. This way you can provision a system in about five minutes with a FTP install media and a kickstart file.
