While I also dislike php, what did the last pm's website use ? drupal. What the president of the united states use - drupal. I can keep on going :) Java is like php, there are also language flaws coming out to bite you real soon. /me mutters something about OH MY THEY ESCAPED FROM THE JVM. Also, if you really care about the security of the system - install grsecurity[1]. You shouldn't be taking any chances :P - you should install it either in the guests, guests and the host, or only on the 'host' (-if no vms in use).
