I use XEN at work for virtualizing servers as well as some test workstations that are hosted in the Datacenter on rack equipment, however for a virtualization solution on my workstation, I don't think XEN would be my first choice - although I do have XEN loaded in a CentOS and Fedora virtual that are living in VMWare-Server on my desktop here :-) -jayson
