I run a mixture of kit, briefly as follows:
2 x Intel Atom D525 running Citrix Xenserver (free version) with shared
storage via DRBD
2. x Core i3 running Centos 6.3, KVM and Cluster suite with shared
storage via DRBD
1 x Celeron 1Ghz laptop with 1GB RAM running Fedora 18 xfce destop (runs
very well for me)
My cobbler server is a KVM guest with one virtual CPU and 512MB RAM. It
has worked perfectly fine for me when building guests with cobbler / koan.
Other services I run virtualised are postfix, DNS, NTP, apache, bacula,
squid. I tend to run a service in it's own guest OS (Centos 6).
My home network is GB with a Belkin wireless router.

Hi
I can't really comment in detail about hardware. For most stuff ram is
probably better to have than CPU in terms of virtualization and fast
storage and/or more or at least one controller card for disks.
I run ESXi 5 and intend to update it to 5.1 which should give me the
new web based admin. Not sure if that is part of esxi. I run all my
VMs on two networks. A private network interconnect between the
machines and a "management" network that allows me to be able to ssh
to the boxes that is connected to a network card and my home router
which also does the dhcp.
My pico cent's worth.

I have finally moved to a bigger place. Now I finally have some
space to setup a home test lab for testing various cobbler related
ideas. Currently, my new place has AT&T Uverse Internet service,
a 2Wire 3600HGV Router, I have also got a few notebooks and
netbooks as my first set of test hardware. Nearly all of them run
Linux (CentOS, SL, Ubuntu, and Fedora), only one runs Windows
XP/Home SP3.
I am sure that I am not the only who want to have a home-based
test lab :-) For these who have gone down this route, do you mind
sharing a bit of your setup? I am most interested in getting some
cost-effective hardware for my own "small lab". I have got a few
notebooks. Very proficient in RHEL, Fedora, Ubuntu, and KVM.
