B:What VM software should we be using? This is something where none of the current admins know very much at all, so we're fairly open to any crazy suggestions. I'm kind of leaning towards qemu currently, but that's with very little experience.
VM Ware ESX server is supposedly good for virtualisation. I touched on it for a while back in net communications, however, no idea what kind of load it would handle, nor the pricetag. Still something you might want to look into?
We've talked about VMware before, and it's definatly something that needs to be considered, but we're not going to get any more money for this project this year, so free options would be preferable.
