Hi all, jumping in this thread a little late. Xen Server rocks, used it for a year now (even got CCA'd on it), easy to use, full enterprise features, stable, expandable, all sorts, and then there is also the fact that you can run EverRun VM on top of it. Take two Xen Servers, install EverRun and th

No to VMWare server. Qualified yes to ESXi - it's damned painful if you have to move VMs between machines, and getting SSH running is not terribly intuitive, but it's definitely doable. Sun has a virtualization product called VirtualBox, but I don't know its licensing status or capabilities, and
