This is pretty much what I do. I also keep stock "reference" images
for each OS I support and copy from the reference image every time I
need to deploy a new VM.
I like the idea of Xen, but the documentation is a little thin
especially when it comes to installing useful things like Windows
VMs; I don't have the time to solve the problem properly, and I hope
that in a year or two I can change this.
So, what would you use if you wanted to / needed to host a Windows 2003
VM on a Linux / UNIX server? I don't / can't sacrifice a whole server
for a few ASP.NET aps.
I haven't used xen so I can't compare them, but it is easy with vmware
server and doesn't require any changes on the host other than installing
the vmware package and configuring it. People running xen tend to say
that you shouldn't run anything else directly on the host, but this
isn't a problem with vmware.
