This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install Xen (version 4.1.2) on a CentOS 6.2 (x86_64) system. Xen lets you create guest operating systems (*nix operating systems like Linux and FreeBSD), so called "virtual machines" or domUs, under a host operating system (dom0). Using Xen you can separate your applications into different virtual machines that are totally independent from each other, but still use the same hardware.

First, this is an excellent and thorough tutorial. The author did a great job with it. To me one thing is missing: there is no explanation about why anyone should bother or what Xen can offer that KVM doesn't offer. KVM support is built-on on Centos 6.x. Why not use that?
