  Another reason to think about kvm is the emerging tools.  I just found
a neat tool on Ubuntu called ubuntu-vm-builder.  It lets me script the
generation of virtual machines, including the specification of included
packages.  I have to imagine there are other, similar tools being
developed.  And, to be fair, the ubuntu tools will generate a vmware6
image.  I don't know what version of vmware will run those, though.
Having kvm built into the kernel has to be a big advantage in terms of
what tools will come out in the long run.
Good day,
