XenServer is free and all the major OSes run on it. Only downside is that
if you want to run its graphical management tool you'll need to run that

...just to avoid typical misunderstandings for "newbies": XenServer is NOT
Xen. XenServer is a (proprietary) "ready to run" Virtualization environment
which "uses" Xen.
Xen byself is Open Source and NetBSD/Xen as "Hypervisor" / Dom0 is a Open
Source implementation of Xen.
XenServer is Open Source too. It uses a different, and more capable,
toolstack (xapi) to the traditional xentools toolstack.

It is tied to a Linux dom0 though, but you can even take an off-the-shelf
CentOS install and add the relevant packages to make it XenServer-ish.
