I'm wondering what people recommend for virtual servers these days? CentOS 4 with a vserver kernel? Wait for CentOS 5 and use Xen? VMware? (Vmware is the heavy solution, but it does mean I could host a windows session if I wanted to). Or Solaris 10 and zones?
If it is a home server why not a bare-bones FC6 Xen box running CentOS guests for mail, www, ssh?
Because I don't want to play "patch catchup" when FC6 is no longer supported or have to rebuild to FC10 at some later point. I want a stable OS base that will have security patches available for a long time :-)
