Anyone using this?  Care to tell us what you use it for?  The website is
ad-heavy and a little content-free.

I've been considering virtualizing some of my server infrastructure, in
particular so I can set up one or more GForge installations on a single
PC, using Xen.  

Now that this is beer-free, it may also be promising, although there may
be too much virtualization involved with VMWare; I'm curious how well a
VMWare VM performs for server tasks, esp compared to e.g. Xen.
