Is it even remotely possible to run MacOSX (or Darwin) as VM under CentOS 5.10
/ xen?
Darwin isn't going to do you any good, since you need to test GUIs.
Darwin is OS X minus everything Apple proprietary, including Cocoa,

OS X comes with VNC, configured and ready to go.
Although OS X does make a reasonable server, it's even better as a

Be careful: you may have been reading some ZFS hype that turns out not
