I think it will "just work", though I've also only used VMware for
virtualization.

When I looked into Xen I discovered that you have to assign a certain
portion of your RAM to your "host OS" (dom0 in Xen terminology[1]) at
boot time, with the remainder left for your guest OSs when they start
up. This means when I have no VMs running, a chunk of my RAM is
inaccessible.

Anyway, look into it and let us know what you decide on :)

Good luck!
