Not for nothing, and speaking as an experience Xen user and several-year

IMHO, the original poster asked what struck me as three eminently
reasonable questions:

- what's "the shortest path to install a Xen Dom0 and then Xen guest
images?" and more specifically

- for a pointer to "a Xen enabled distribution that would enable me to
immediately start configuring DomU guests,"

- and a pointer to "good step by step introduction or tutorial on how to
install the Guests in bridged and Nat mode respectively"

Given the complexity of Xen, and the paucity of good documentation,
these seem perfectly reasonable questions.
Okay but what if we just quote the first OP's question, 'install a Xen Dom0 and 
then Xen guest images' to google?
The very first search result is http://wiki.debian.org/Xen, which is
  - a short path
  - a pointer to a distribution
  - a step-by-step instruction

Obviously, the OP never cared to do even as little as a slightest google 
search. Well, naturally this could make people feel somewhat... emm, annoyed?

Didn't annoy me. On the other hand, all the gratuitous attacks on the OP DID annoy me.
