I run ubuntu Kernel 2.6.32 without problems. Exactly what do you intend to
do that would requiere a specific version of Linux?

If you are interested in developing Xen (as opposed to "just" using it)
then really any distro is fine since you aren't dependent on the
standard of their packaged support for Xen.

I suggest using the distro you are most familiar with, both Ubuntu and
CentOS are perfectly reasonable choices IMHO.

Sorry, I am not familiar with virt-manager. Check the /etc/init.d/
script first for the necessary services. You did not get any errors on
compile, right?

> Yes Currently ubuntu does not offer support for dom0 out-of-the-box. Yet it can be installed/compiled. Its just a matter of 1 or two simple steps. Not having such support means that a simple apt-get might not work.  But you will not encounter any real problems there, Xen can be installed/compiled on almost all distros.
