Mandriva does virtualization trifecta

I actually know quite a few Mandrake users who are still holding onto the platform. It’s been years since I actually paid for Mandrake 7.2 at a local CompUSA just to see the new KDE 2 and DrakX… the old days when GUIs were “new”. Maybe I should take another look… this one would be interesting to try loading up in a virtualization frenzy. Corporate Server 4.0 has a (para)virtualization hypervisor, application containers (OpenVZ), and a proven VMWare all built into in the OS. Not sure how they juggle Xen vs VMWare… would have to try it first.
