Tried a few actually. VMware: Slow, annoying. bloated. Xen: Not able to try because timers kept dying on startup. KVM: Brilliant. lightweight, simple, easy to configure, very fast Virtualbox: It's like a heavyweight GUI that I don't really need to KVM. I'm fine with KVM, especially as it's about 11 meg (?) Qemu: For when I'm doing non-x86. Very nice. Keep in mind I do have VT and AMD-V.
