Agreed - it does depend. I have little experience with Xen, VMware / ESXi or KVM. I do use VirtualBox on production servers running instances of WindozeXP running mssql server for some very specific client/server apps and have found that I can do a complete setup on a headless server remotely with little hassle. Getting the screen resolution and mouse sorted out did require loading the VirtualBox Guest Additions. The networking side was also painless, the only item I struggled with was making the WinXP server visible on the windoze client's network neighborhood - in the end I added the WinXP server IP address to the clients lmhosts file - this actually made a lot of sense - as now those clients that do not need the sql server access do not even see the Linux hosted WinXP.a arias wrote:Over the last year I have worked with Xen, KVM, VMware ESX and Sun VirtualBox. VirtualBox is my recommendation, hands down.I think this is too vague of a opinion on virtualization use. I think it depends on what you're doing with it.VirtualBox is a nice piece of software for desktop/power user use, however, ESXi and ESX are geared more towards enterprise and business critical use.So, it kind of depends on what you're going to be doing with it.
