I plan to get a new Core2 Duo machine and install Fedora Core on it.
I'd like to run Vista in a virtual machine atop Linux.  So, am I
better off using Xen for the virtual machine, or VMWare Server?

Unless you are doing it for self education, technology preparation
in anticipation of a Xen future, or investing oneself in the
technology for whatever reason, I'd say you shouldn't use Xen yet.
Getting a well-running Xen configuration is still a linux black-
belt level task.

Nah, it's down to red belt or yellow belt. The "virt-manager" tool for REL 4.92 beta or Fedora Core 6 is up to the job.

VMWare products are rock-solid dependable and are generally work
out of the box.

That has not been my experience, but I admit it's been 3 years since I did one myself.

There is the question of whether or not VMWare supports Vista. You
should check that. Also, some versions of Vista aren't licensed for
virtualization (if you care).

Licensing. Licensing is always fun......
