On a laptop and currently the only machine I have unless I get my trusted 5 year old thinkpad resurrected, I think I better stick to 32-bit. My daughter will kill me if her Barbie websites stopped working suddenly. >> (3.)

Fedora does not have Xen as in 10, I cant wait till 11. So my options are download ESX and run it along side VISTA (not sure how I will achive this, never heard of multiboot with ESX) or go back to good old Debian and use Xen. Yes OpenSuSe has Xen, but SuSe is currently unknown territory for me. So I will go back to Debian.
