I'd be interested to get your final impressions of VBox versus Xen.
It seems like the new virtualisation technologies are superior in
performance to VMWare but not as mature and will take a little
while to catch up.
I haven't done formal testing but have decided on Xen, which wins on
several counts:
Networking can be setup with much less hassle.
The console.
The Xen server distribution. It's fast and locked down, and very
quick to install and setup in a pinch.
Bigger, more active community.
For anyone wanting to try virtualisation, I'd reluctantly recommend
an Intel host. If you do use AMD64 you'll need to turn off ACPI and
be happy with 32 bit guests.
cheers,
Peter.
