My experience with Xen has been that using "xen" and "don't have to screw
with" within close proximity is almost never correct.

I'd almost consider VMWare server for your situation as being low-stress,
but that's not perfect either.  Apparently there's some screwing around you
have to do to get the console browser working in current Linuxes or
something, and the performance suspending and resuming virtuals can be
terrible.  It probably will run directly on top of your existing host with
the least screwning around and breaking of the current setup though.
