VMWare???
What are the open source VM solutions for Debian? Me and a partner are looking into offering shared web hosting solutions in a VPS fashion, and possibly Apache virtual hosting.
What kind of systems are available to us?

I have used Virtual Box by Sun.
I hear KVM is very good and flexible.

Re: VMWare???
How did you get on?
Re: VMWare???
kvm is a really good one. If you are planning to use it on a linux system,i would definitely go with it. as for multiple or having a "virtual" system per user, im not to sure how that works
Re: VMWare???
Creating a virtual drive for all of them is similar.However, ill now change my recommendation and recommend VirtualBox. I have actually been using it, and it seems very fast. It is also extremly easy to use

Re: VMWare???
I use to run windows xp with a vm of fedora. I recommend to do it the other way around as it is more efficient. Now on the same computer, I am running Ubuntu and a vm of win xp with IE6 & FF1, vm of win xp with IE7 & FF2, vm of win xp with IE8 & FF3 - I can run then all at the same time, each on different desktops so I can easily switch between all of them!
The latest Ubuntu is amazing, I have always been a fedora geek, but I must admit for a desktop the latest ubuntu rules! It automatically setup the networking for the VMs, my multiple screens (4) etc...

Re: VMWare???
I'm not sure about the rules on resurrecting old threads, so forgive me if it's frowned upon.
VMware's hypervisor, ESXi 4.0, was recently released in a free version. If you need a standalone virtualization solution, you can't beat it.
EDIT: oops... didn't realize you wanted FOSS... ESXi is at least free-as-in-beer
