headless vm host

[teddy-5sHjOODPK7E at public.gmane.org]

VBox cli I found cumbersome.
Xen is for linux vm's only i believe.
I have not used KVM

I have used vmware ESXI.
I like vmware ESXI since it works very well at the colo/datacenter
Does all the linux distros and windows and many other os's as well.
Plus the VIClient Virtual Infrastructure client is very easy to use.

I found vmware esxi the fastest and easiest to setup.
And once setup, very quick+easy to install and admin new vm's

Just make sure

1) all your hardware supports VMWare ESXI
2) you have lots of DDR2 (cheaper than DDR1)
3) lots of diskspace
