I'm setting up a new system for use at home. Nothing fancy -- usual office-type desktop uses: openoffice, firefox, tbird, burning CDs/DVDs, plus a couple windows programs under wine.

Which virtualization software would y'all use for something like this. I have some limited experience with xen but I really don't have a preference. No need to run windows.

CPU is a P4 (non VT).

And which distro would you use for a host system?

Although you don't need to do M$ Windows, do you need/want to do a GUI? If so, I would recommend either VirtualBox <http://www.virtualbox.org> or VMware <http://www.vmware.com>. If no GUI is required then Xen is a good choice. You can't do KVM because your processor doesn't support it.

I would use CentOS for the host system due to built in Xen and it's long term support.
