Part of this is because, if I'm not mistaken, in the template XS uses for Cent/RHEL/etc it actually has some flags in it that disable a graphical install; however, during the install you can install X and other graphical utilities that should work once the system comes up (I've never tested it though because we don't put a GUI on any of our servers). And as far as Cent 6.3 compatibility, while it's not on the list it doesn't mean it will break either. We had an issue with XS 5.6 that Cent 6 wouldn't install so we worked around the issue by installing it on XS 6, downloaded the vhd image, and imported it in and everything ran fine. I'm not suggested this is a supported way to go, but it's been solid for us so far.

I am able to utilize the console, but the default console is text only. I am not given the option at boot time to perform a graphical install. I have tested this through XenCenter console and CPVM. I am running CS4.
