Thank you for the advice. I have a lot of reading to do on Xen if I  
want to use virtualization in this way, since VMWare is not even in  
my budget ballpark.

It is reassuring to see that TLUG has some Xen users. Between Henri  
and Edward Middleton (I am sure there are others), TLUG could hold a  
really informative workshop on Xen.
