I need to install a guest virtual machine on top of a remote CentOS server host. I can access my host machine through ssh terminal only and I prefer using CentOS native packages only. My guest VM is binary is i386 based but the host is x86_64.

Edit >>>

I am running the guest for testing only so performance is not an issue. My guest should have bridged network interface to one of my existing ethX ports in my host

<<< Edit

Which virtual machine software you recommend for me?

KVM should work fine (probably managed using libvirt and friends). It's integrated into the latest releases of RHEL (and hence CentOS) 5.

VirtualBox can fit your requirements as an option to consider.

It's not, but Sun/Oracle does have specific builds for RHEL/CentOS. – user48838 Aug 6 '11 at 8:32
