When you select the "create new VM" option in XenCenter, look for the RHEL 6 64bit template option.
Why not just use the already existing CentOS 6 template?

That one I don't know, I've always used the CentOS template for this but there may be a reason to use the RHEL template.

Is there both? They would be identical. That's very silly that there are two. The two products are literally the same thing.
-
@scottalanmiller Well, shall I use the one purposed for CentOS?

Sure, that's fine too.

@scottalanmiller I selected the template for CentOS 6 64-Bit, what next?

Follow the wizard. Ask when you get stuck.

I have no memory of this place...

You'll only need a single virtual NIC for the VM.

One last question, how much storage do I assign to it?

My rule of thumb is 12GB for a stock Linux OS.

why is that your rule of thumb?
-
Plenty of space for a full OS, overhead for logging and normal apps. Mostly just experience.

@scottalanmiller So, it turns out the issue I was having getting the OS installed, was that the default file path was pulling from an empty folder. I found the actual ISO's, and got two installs. One that the interns did, on CentOS 7, and one that I did, on CentOS 6.
