[wplug] VmWare

[Moshe Hyzon]

Get vmware server (http://vmware.com/products/server/)  It's free as
in beer. It runs like a charm under any reasonably new Linux distro
(they provide rpms or tarballs), and I have hardly ever had any
problems with it. It really is the best virtualization software out
there.

Xen is nice in that it is opensource, but in my estimation it really
only excels at running Linux on Linux.  VMware will pretty much run
any x86(_64) on any x86(_64).
