My approach to this is to have two servers, which I am lucky enough to have
for other reasons. I test as much as I can on one, while production is done
on the other, using next-server to switch thin clients back and forth. I
guess not everyone is as lucky :-(

I'd still personally be a little concerned to use virtualisation for ltsp,
primarily because of the added complexity (new ways for things to break,
difficulty for others to understand the setup) and to a lesser degree
wasted resources.  But if it works for you, fair enough.

Out of curiosity, why vmware and not Xen or one of the more supported open
source virtualisation setups?
