Old DELL PowerEdge Server possibilities

[GrumbleDook]

A box for a test environment so you don't break the live one when testing things.

you run the host and the vm's on the same box?? (sorry . couldn't help it)

Sorry, not quite with you. I have one older, non-hardware-virtulisation-capable (although dual-processor, so still really quite capable) server running Debian Lenny with Xen, this then hosts a couple of Xen virtual machines also running Debian Lenny. Paravirtulisation overheads are minimal (3%?), so a dual-processor machine with a RAID array can make like at least two machines, easily.

sorry it was a really bad joke (solder fumes were getting to me)
