I am playing with Xen and have had good results on a small scale (3 virtuals on one host). I am also a customer of Ryan's and I can tell you I have seen no difference between running a virtual server and running a standalone server as far as the user end of his virtual servers goes.

I've never used virtualization software, at least not consciously. But
I do have some good answers to your question.
Ryan Brown gave a talk on User Mode Linux back on January 15th. If you
want Linux on Linux, this is one way to do it.

Also, there's a recent upstart called Xen that I don't know anything
about. Might be overkill for your purposes, but like I said, I really
don't know.
