KVM is also available in RHEL5.4 and higher (as is Xen) even though it is nominally a 2.6.18 kernel - it is actually RedHat's modified version of that base.

KVM -- Nice, Simple and Easy to use. You get better speed if you use
raw devices than virtual harddrive, can run VMWARE and VirtualBox Hard
drives. Good for setting up a virtual server. Comes with any linux
2.6.20 or higher. Most Distro have a nice client to set up servers.
VirtualBox -- Great for people how are use to VMWare Workstation,
VirtualPC, or Parallels. Can do headless if you want want to do a
server, but takes a bit to set up. Free for OSE and there is a paid
very.
VMWare -- Price if you want support. ESXi is very nice for servers and
is free. Workstation cost. VMWare player is free, not sure if it been
update.
