Sorry I guess I should have been a bit more clear, I just forget the proper 
terms at the moment :)  ESXI would be the host running the various different 
VM's, or I would be running another os (say scientific Linux) with virtual box 
on top of it, running the VM's.  I'm trying to get a sense of the preferred way 
of doing things.

Hi Andrew,

If you're looking for an open source alternative to ESXi, it's not Virtualbox.  
Even running headless, it's not in the same league for server performance (nor 
was it designed to be).  Look at KVM or Xen instead.  I've got about a dozen of 
those Supermicro servers running at various sites.  Despite my ambitions to go 
open source, they're all running ESXi.  

Anand.
