Hello John,

I haven't tried any of the other vm's out there other than xen. I am =20
hosting 2 windows(XP,2k3) vm's and three linux vm's, all headless and =20
on the one machine. You will definitely want to get some more RAM. I =20
have experience with xen so if you decide to go that route I can help =20
you to get it up and running.

Jon
