Actually, Joost isnt quite accurrate.  Xen is a competing product to
VMWare.  Both are 'free' (or at least available in free versions).

We use VMWare at work because it has some very good add-on products
that allow us to move servers around like they are word documents -
great stuff.

I havnt had a chance to setup a Xen server, though I have been meaning
to.  waiting till I can afford a desktop with 16gb of RAM and 3tb of
space..
