I can safely say I don't ever use the PrintScreen button, as it doesn't
exist on my mac.
But the mac is not the only place wh
One other thing to note, you need to setup an SNMP community string before
applying your free ESXi license, or it becomes unwritable, as ESXi free
version doesn't support SNMP monitoring :/

If you can load OpenManage on ESXi, please tell me how. That is something I
would desperately love to do, but as far as I know, cannot be done.
I did research

VMWare Server is a terrible product. I wouldn't recommend it for any
purpose.
Perhaps you should look at ESXi? Does the host need to be Linux, or perhaps

If your hardware doesn't support ESXi, I suggest trying "VMware Server",
also free. It doesn't run on the "bare metal", but it does run very well and
works with almost any Linux distribution:

I've successfully used it to virtualize WinXP systems in the past,
Why not use VMware ESXi? It works great with Windows or Linux VMs.

This is actually the likely route for me. I was just hoping to stick
with our existing Xen infrastructure.

If you haven't already, give the GPLPV ("ParaVirt") drivers for XP a quick try.
They're supposed to help network and disk performance significantly:

The single biggest weakness that I've seen for VirtualBox is its
inability to resize disk images after creation. This leads to creating
additional virtual disks to present to the guest.
If you're hoping to resize the Windows filesystem to utilize this
space, make sure to use "dynamic disks":
