By far the easiest and cost effective is an Amazon AMI. For those of us working with federation it is easy to create multiple servers in a few seconds and to pay only a few Euros. This way there is never a problem wioth hardware incompatability, a machine image is a machine image and when comparing performance it is always Apples to Apples.
Bootable DVD image is also a nice one for the folks just wishing to see it run.
