Virtualisation.

As part pf the same project that calls for an encrypted filesystem, I'm 
looking at running a virtual machine.

The main server is intended to be highly secure and will run a subversion 
server as a document repository.

The client then mentioned moving their email and web servers on to this
machine.  To keep things secure I think it's best to run this on a VM.

Security / separation is probably more important than performance.

I think Xen looks like the best candidate for the job.  Vserver is
fast but doesn't provide as much separation.  UML is my other current 
option.

We've got a VT-enabled Xeon to run on so it will play nicely with Xen.

Any thoughts?
