I went through this a while back both at work and at home. At work I
converted the whole shebang from VMware Server 2.0 over to KVM. At home
I went with ESXi. Both were fairly painless to do, though with ESXi you
need a Windows box to manage it. Eventually, I'll probably convert the
home machine to KVM. Maybe. OTOH, I like not having a boot drive
(other than the SD card) on the box.
Hmm...
(thinking aloud) Is anyone doing KVM on a box from a USB stick or SD
card? Saves a disk, and that's what VMware is doing with ESXi...
