Any thoughts to this, or should I just put on CentOS 5.4 and be done with it? I know it's like asking what everyone's favourite colour is, but maybe a few replies will give me some ideas.
I like the VM approach because it gives a foolproof to snapshot the guest and do testing/rollbacks easily, also the hardware configuration is usually significantly simpler as it's abstracted, and it makes the server more portable, easier to move to another system as a whole.
Where performance is a real big concern I use native hardware, but those cases are fairly rare.
