[brlug-general] VMWare vs Xen

[Karthik Poobalasubramanian]

I am doing some research on virtualizing some servers at work. My 
personal experience is limited to desktop virtualizing under windows and 
linux. I am comparing VMWare ESX and Xen Enterprise V4. Cost wise, Xen 
Enterprise is a lot cheaper than VMware ESX. From what I have read so 
far, VMWare is more polished and mature. I am leaning more towards Xen 
but don't know about their support and future

Any comments for or against Xen?
