What do you mean? Is it possible to run Xen on a non-Server-based OS:
Yes, of course.

It just so happens that Xen is more of a server-type product, so it's
more likely to be included with the CD's (DVDs), aka distribution of
Linux, of a server type product than it is for a desktop product. 

This in turn means that if you want to combine Xen with a desktop
distribution, you may have to build your own Xen-ified Linux kernel and
your own Xen hypervisor, and update your system manually (using the
./install.sh inside the dist directory of the Xen build, for example). 

But Xen itself will run on (almost) any Linux-based system where the
kernel is 2.6.x.
