I have a Mandriva 2005 LE dom0 and the same for domU. Works great. I plan to 
use Debian for dom0, the "host" in VMWare speak, and various other distros 
for the "guests".

I have not tried that. You would have to patch the Xen kernel with the VMWare 
kernel patches to make it work I suppose.

I have used GSX Server. It is quite resource intensive but it makes no 
pretenses that it is not. It has great remote admin tools.
