Indeed. If you are seriously going to run virtualization in your data center,
running an open source hypervisor (like RHEL's built-in Xen and in RHEL5.4
kvm) trumps anything else. Simple costing alone will give you significant
advantages - for example, with RHEL5 Advanced Platform as the host, you
can run any number of RHEL guests without additional subscriptions.
