Ubuntu and CentOS P2V

We're going to be converting 13 servers this weekend to XenServer 6.2.
Most of them are Windows and we'll be using XenConvert. However, we do
have 8 Linux based servers (3 CentOS6 and 5 Ubuntu 8.04+) that will need to
be converted. I'm wondering what you guys have *successfully* used in the
past to get Linux based servers converted to XenServer?

I've been reading quite a bit on the subject and it seems a method involves
using DD, but that takes quite a bit of time. Anyone have an alternative
or do I just deal with the time consumption and move on?

I'm working on a similar project and my hope is clonezilla will do the job.
I'll report back with my results.
