Thank you too all for your input.
I think running two VMs on top of the host OS (although it would be
nice) is too much overhead for my liking given the spec of the box. I
like the sound of jailctl, I will give this a go and report back my
findings ;)
Approach it not from the overhead part, but from the flexible part.
If, at some point, they require another server solution that wasn't
available before you can setup a new VM instead.
Since your budget is 0 to begin with that might not be such a bad
starting point.
VMs also allow for easy updates, upgrades and snapshots. That is, a
firmware/software update gone wrong can easily rolled back.
I've had a few awful experiences with home built all in one linux
machines. And upgrades then tended to break everything at once. Joy.
Depends on the person, skills and luck involved ofcourse.
My all in one wonder is a Dell Optiplex 755 with a C2D 2.33Ghz and 8GB
ram. A rather modest ESX machine if I say so myself. It runs ESXi 3.5 still.

Seth
