I run a mixture of kit, briefly as follows:<br>
<br>
2 x Intel Atom D525 running Citrix Xenserver (free version) with
shared storage via DRBD<br>
<br>
2. x Core i3 running Centos 6.3, KVM and Cluster suite with shared
storage via DRBD<br>
<br>
1 x Celeron 1Ghz laptop with 1GB RAM running Fedora 18 xfce destop
(runs very well for me)<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
My home network is GB with a Belkin wireless router. <br>

<div>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.</div>

<div>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.</div>

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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
